According to Sawyer Merritt, Ford's electric vehicle division reported a $1.4 billion loss in Q3 2025, despite a 50% year-over-year increase in EV revenue to $1.8 billion and a negative EBIT margin of -79%. Year-to-date losses for Ford's EV segment now total $3.6 billion (source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Oct 23, 2025). This significant financial challenge underscores the urgent need for increased operational efficiency and cost optimization, where AI-powered solutions can play a crucial role. Strategic investments in AI-driven manufacturing automation, predictive analytics for supply chain management, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) present major business opportunities for automotive companies seeking to improve margins and accelerate electrification. The ongoing losses highlight the critical role of artificial intelligence in achieving profitable scalability within the EV sector.

According to Tim Cook on Twitter, Apple will soon manufacture all iPhone and Apple Watch cover glass at Corning's Harrodsburg, Kentucky facility, marking a significant shift toward American innovation and supply chain resilience. For the AI industry, this centralization provides opportunities for advanced automation, AI-driven quality control, and predictive maintenance within the manufacturing process. With increasing demand for precision and reliability in smartphone components, integrating AI-powered systems allows Corning and Apple to optimize throughput, minimize defects, and enhance transparency throughout the supply chain, opening new business avenues for AI solution providers in manufacturing automation and industrial analytics (source: Tim Cook on Twitter, Sep 12, 2025).
