Checking only AI alerts leaves missed defects unknown

A Ford case study exposes a gap in AI detection evidence. An FQI evaluation plan includes components that produce no alert.

Inspection processes

When the ranking is right but acceptance is wrong

AI evaluators can rank reports correctly yet accept the wrong ones. An FQI pilot separates ordering, decision thresholds and aggregate quality indicators.

When training data distort the model test

Synthetic training examples must not compromise an independent model test. An FQI plan checks data lineage, separation and realistic defect frequencies.

What an empty tool response actually establishes

A successful tool call can still lose crucial information. A bounded test process makes coverage and limitations visible.

When the inspection probe changes its pose

Movable and flexible measurement systems need a verified geometry state. A bounded acceptance process links pose, correction and outcome.

When an available agent becomes unreliable

Protect current outputs, detect persistent quality loss and assess suspended AI agents separately before readmission.

When control rules override correct AI decisions

Traceability and decision correctness need separate evidence. A preprint exposes the risks of indiscriminate rule-based overrides.

When correct numbers support incorrect claims

An FQI verification process binds AI-generated metrics to their source, context and calculation before they enter quality reports.

What an AI agent credential actually proves

A signed agent credential applies to a tested configuration, task, scoring rule and validity period—not to every use of the agent.

When the measurement path changes the signal

Pneumatic tubing can attenuate, amplify and delay pressure signals. The released evaluation method must therefore match the required result.

When inspection needs to look again

An initial defect suspicion steers camera angle and zoom for a targeted second image. Quality depends on controlled remeasurement before judgement.

Same Sample, Different System Costs

The number of generated AI answers does not fully describe the process. Batching, call structure and measurement boundary belong in the released recipe.

Validate Synthetic Training Data in Four Stages

Large AI datasets need more than a scale record: structure, provenance, factual correctness and demonstrated effect are separate release gates.

When agent actions silently produce the wrong effect

Technical pre-action checks can expose silent AI-agent execution errors. A preprint illustrates their value, false alarms and limits.

When the Proof Confirms the Wrong Specification

Formal verification can confirm rules without confirming the real safety objective. Why the specification itself needs independent qualification.

96.07% accuracy is not yet a battery release decision

A study combines anomaly detection and consistency screening for battery cells. FQI identifies the evidence still needed before release.

When the agent harness triples the result

An ARC-AGI-3 experiment shows how context handling and compaction change an AI agent's performance. The quality of the complete system is what matters.

Why AI in supplier quality fails on fragmented data

Forty percent active AI use meets only 21% multi-tier traceability. In supplier quality, a reliable evidence chain must come before the risk model.

AI and SPC: complement rather than replacement

Hybrid approaches combining SPC and machine learning make sense when stability, prediction, uncertainty and response plans remain clearly separated.

When AI learns from past failures

A research approach shows how large language models can use historical events to create traceable hazard scenarios—and what FMEA can learn from it.

When RAG is not enough for FMEA

A recent study shows how LLMs, ontologies and knowledge graphs can make existing FMEA knowledge reusable across manufacturing lines.
