However, artificial intelligence is transforming precisely this knowledge-based work. Diagnosis, decision-making, and optimization are increasingly shaped by the interplay between humans and AI. As a result, AI proficiency is becoming a competitive factor, although specialized expertise\u2014the foundation of industrial performance\u2014must not be lost. This issue explores the potential of AI in production and development, as well as the requirements for AI-based knowledge management. How can companies integrate AI into work and organizational processes in a way that fosters sustainable differentiation and creates adaptive organizations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\"
