- Ford hired 350 veteran engineers after AI and automated quality systems failed to meet desired quality levels.
- The company is using these rehired "gray beard" engineers to train younger staff and reprogram AI tools, not abandoning AI entirely.
- The rehiring is paying off, with Ford expecting $1 billion in cost reductions this year and topping a recent quality survey.
