This episode of the Broadcast explores a growing knowledge crisis in the printing industry: as experienced press operators and OEM experts retire, they take decades of undocumented, judgment-based knowledge with them — knowledge that AI can't learn from if it was never captured. Amy Servi-Bonner, vice president of PRINTING AI argues that AI isn't a threat to human expertise; it's the only way to preserve it.
