<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We are excited to announce the JQT special issue, "Advancing the Future of Quality Technology with Artificial Intelligence.” This special issue will explore the opportunities
 and challenges posed by AI and Generative AI in the field of quality and reliability engineering. The primary objective of this special issue is to highlight innovative AI-based approaches that enhance, complement, or replace traditional solutions in quality
 technology, especially in the face of challenges presented by modern workplaces. Highlighted topics include AI-enhanced data analysis, AI-assisted process monitoring and fault detection, system optimization with AI, and human-AI collaboration in quality control.
