Efforts to automate more US factories come as companies in East Asia have already charged ahead in establishing multiple “dark factory” sites—facilities featuring near-complete automation with a small human staff to provide oversight and troubleshooting.
AI is accelerating automation, to the point where you can automate all processes that don’t require human involvement. This is why China is currently ahead of the US. They have been strategic and pragmatic in their use of AI instead of focusing solely on achieving AGI.
The US is catching up to China. This means that Trump’s “dream” of bringing plants back to the U.S. to create jobs for Americans will not be realized because they will simply build these “dark factories.”
I was hearing about dark sites about a decade ago. Wonder why it took so long. Probably because we don’t want to starve too many blue collar families at once.

No way the US is catching up to China. They are far ahead in everything except weapons and war.

Yeah that’s… probably not why.
