The impact of Generative AI in Industrial Applications
Iason Kastanis – Group leader Predictive Analytics, CSEM SA
This talk will describe CSEM projects in the area of multimodal industrial data with examples from real world applications. Many years of experience have highlighted the idiosyncrasies of the digitalisation process taking place on shop floors across the industry. The rise of GPT-based large language models presents an opportunity to use Generative AI to address the issues faced in the development of AI-driven analytics for the industry.
Defining the boundaries of AI From fundamental limitations to resource constraints
Nadim Maamari – Group Leader Edge AI and Vision System, CSEM
Defining the boundaries of AI involves recognizing its intrinsic limitations, such as lack of true understanding and dependence on data, while balancing its immense computational power needs, which pose sustainability challenges. As AI grows more powerful, ethical considerations and regulatory measures become essential to ensure responsible and energy-efficient advancements, guiding its impact on society and the environment
