Every car that rolls off a Toyota assembly line carries thousands of individual parts. But underneath the hood of the company’s own operations lies a mess of incompatible languages — 45,000 specialized terms scattered across planning, production, marketing, and sales departments, none of them speaking the same dialect. The company now plans to fix that with an AI-powered system that will shrink those 45,000 terms down to 5,000 standardized ones by 2028.
