    Hi HN,

    I spent my academic years at Tsinghua Univ (Beijing) experiencing "China Speed," and my professional years at Toyota Group (Japan) enforcing "Zero Defects."

    I've noticed that many AI PoCs fail in the manufacturing sector because they try to apply Silicon Valley's "move fast and break things" logic to the physical world where safety is non-negotiable.

    I wrote this post to propose a framework distinguishing between "White Color AI" (Cognitive/Digital) and "Blue Color AI" (Physical/Safety-Critical), and how to bridge them using a semi-autonomous model.

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on implementing LLMs in safety-critical environments. Thanks!
