This bit caught my eye… behind the jargon, the conventional approach is a *very* primitive strategy. SISO PID+gain scheduling is basically 1950s era controls. There would be no stability guarantees which removes one on the big reasons to use control theoretic over AI approaches.

I always liked the idea of throwing AI at control problems, even though conservative friends would whine about lack of stability and convergence guarantees. But most controls as practiced in industry doesn’t use the advanced techniques that offer such guarantees anyway.

you are a stats person, you should be a neutral party here, like an arms dealer, since you sell techniques to both sides

yeah but "AI improves upon your industrial control systems" is almost exactly the Nanotronics AIPC pitch.
(This is an easy case to make in situations where e.g. there's complex chemistry that nobody has a half-decent model of.)

lol, didn't realize you'd started a new job... is the longevity research a side hustle now?
