Turning to 2025, manufacturers are moving from exploration to implementation. AI is no longer a flashy solution with a lot of "future potential." It's an industry- accepted tool that is becoming integral to every step in the manufacturing process. As AI and related technologies continue to permeate the pallet manufacturing industry, we must find a way to balance the benefits of these tools with the risks. "AI's growing role in cybercrime is undeniable. By 2025, AI will not only enhance the scale of attacks but also their sophistication. Phishing attacks will be harder to detect, with AI continuously learning and adapting," explained Jeremy Fuchs, Cybersecurity Evangelist at Check Point Software Technologies. e adoption of new tools and technologies has always come with risks. is isn't a new concept for manufacturers.
