Siemens and NVIDIA are building the world's first Industrial AI Operating System. The first fully AI-driven adaptive factory goes live in Erlangen this year. This is what the shift from pilot to production looks like. #ManufacturingAI #IndustrialAI

Physical AI is moving off the drawing board and onto the factory floor. Flex's Rodrigo Dalloglio breaks down what it actually takes to scale robotics and automation in contract manufacturing. The gap between pilot and production is real. #ManufacturingAI #PhysicalAI

Healthcare IT News lays out what it takes to prepare for AI's next phase in health systems. Governance, infrastructure, and trust are the real bottlenecks, not the technology itself. The groundwork you do now matters. #HealthcareAI #DigitalHealth

New Census Bureau data: U.S. business AI adoption grew consistently from Dec 2025 through May 2026. Larger firms lead, but adoption is rising across all sizes. The trend is clear. #AI #SmallBusiness

BCG: AI-enabled factories can now outcompete offshoring, even from high-cost countries. Productivity gains of up to 60% are on the table. The economics of manufacturing just changed. #ManufacturingAI #AIinBusiness

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

New data: 82% of small businesses now invest in AI tools, and 93% plan to keep spending more. The stack is growing, the ROI is real. Small businesses that are moving strategically are pulling ahead fast. #SmallBusiness #AI

AI is becoming the front door to healthcare. But 70M+ Americans with disabilities may not get through it. Accessibility can't be an afterthought when a chatbot IS the triage system. #HealthcareAI #DigitalHealth

AI in senior living is proving its value without adding burden to staff. New approaches use multi-signal situational awareness to detect fall and wander risks earlier, without wearables. Better outcomes, same team. #SeniorLiving #AgingCare

CBIZ Q1 2026 Mid-Market Pulse: 48% of mid-sized companies say lack of internal AI expertise is their top barrier to adoption. The bottleneck is no longer the tech. It is the people. #AIAdoption #MidMarket

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

States are setting a clear rule on healthcare AI: it can assist, but it cannot be the only reason your care gets denied. Alabama, Indiana, Maryland, Washington and Georgia all passed guardrail laws in 2026. The regulatory wave is here. #HealthcareAI #AIPolicy

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

80% of U.S. manufacturing facilities have zero automation. Despite all the AI hype, legacy systems, fragmented data, and ROI uncertainty keep most plants on the sidelines. The pilot-to-scale gap is where AI ambition dies. #ManufacturingAI #IndustryAI

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

Hartford HealthCare's PatientGPT has logged ~400 patient conversations in its pilot as the system pushes to become the most consumer-centric in the country. AI is moving from experiment to everyday tool. #HealthcareAI #DigitalHealth

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

Senior living provider groups are telling HHS what frontline operators already know: AI adoption in senior care won't scale without serious investment in digital infrastructure. Connectivity gaps remain the quiet bottleneck. #SeniorLiving #AIinHealthcare

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

China is doubling down on AI in manufacturing. Beijing is pushing deeper AI integration across traditional industries to modernize production and stay competitive. For U.S. mid-market manufacturers, the race just got faster. #ManufacturingAI #Industry40

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

Novo Nordisk just tapped OpenAI to embed AI across R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain operations. Full rollout to its 68,800-person workforce targeted by end of 2026. A real test of enterprise AI at scale. #ManufacturingAI #PharmaAI

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

New data: only 59% of healthcare orgs actively track how their AI agents are performing. 60% of nurses don't trust their org's AI oversight. Deploying AI in care without governance is a risk you can't afford. #HealthcareAI #AIGovernance

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

68% of U.S. small businesses now use AI regularly, up from 48% just two years ago. The AI for Main Street Act could be the turning point that helps SMBs move from winging it to winning with it. #SmallBusiness #AIAdoption

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

98% of manufacturers are exploring AI in 2026, but only 20% feel ready to scale. The real challenge this year is bridging the gap between AI promise and production reality. #ManufacturingAI #SmartFactory

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

Medicare just created the first federal payment pathway built for AI care. The ACCESS program pays providers for AI-driven chronic disease management, rewarding outcomes over activities. 150 digital health companies already approved for launch. #HealthcareAI #AIPolicy

[Mark Concannon @mark_concannon_]

81% of U.S. physicians are now using or aware of AI in their practice, up from 66% in 2024. Digital health startups raised $4B in Q1 2026 alone. Healthcare AI has crossed from "emerging" to essential. #HealthcareAI #DigitalHealth
