Honeywell CEO Vimal Kapur highlighted AI's role in addressing the industrial labor shortage at CNBC's AI Opportunity Summit. Kapur emphasized AI's potential to reduce the 15-year training period for complex roles to just five years with AI co-pilots rather than focusing on consumer-facing features or displaced office workers. Kapur believes the key challenge is the shortage of skilled labor, which AI can help alleviate, allowing Honeywell to generate more revenue. He predicts significant AI adoption in industries in the next two years.
