Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in manufacturing is often pursued as technology push. In contrast, this paper looks upon the AI-human interaction from a viewpoint that considers both to play an important role in reshaping their individual capabilities. It specifically focuses on how humans can play an important role in enhancing AI capabilities. The introduced concepts are tested in an industrial case study of vision-based inspection in production lines. Furthermore, the paper highlights the need to consider relevant implications for work design for AI integration. The contribution can be of practical value for system developers and work designers in how to target at the design stage the human contribution in AI-enabled systems for production environments.
