The present work approaches the topic of aligning AIAligning AI systems to the culture of a production organization for use within the manufacturing system. As AIArtificial intelligence (AI) has a very high potential to transform manufacturing, companies must make sure that the way in which it is used conforms to the values and principles they knowingly and tacitly employ. The methodology utilized starts from a literature review and is centered around working with a group of experts to define an integration vision and based on this, a possible generic road map for companies. The knowledge and experience of specialists is distilled through back casting (backward forecasting) of specific characteristics of AIArtificial intelligence (AI) technologies, tailored to the needs of the production sector, the definition of three possible implementation scenarios for adoption within companies and risk assessments attached to these scenarios. By employing such an approach, a production firm can choose beforehand the application path that is best suited to its needs and, thus, will have a higher probability of success.
