Get with the program: Industrial AI won’t suddenly vaporize
Industrial AI is here. The genie is out of the bottle. Those that adapt and embrace this new reality are setup to benefit from the technology’s force multiplication abilities. Those that cling to the way things were will be left in the dust. But AI is not a panacea, it pays to know what it can and cannot do.
In this episode of the Industry Forward podcast, host John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry Software, talks to Fred Husman, Senior Program Manager at SkyIO. The pair discuss the impact AI will have and—perhaps more importantly—not have on the process industry over the next three to five years.
In this podcast you will learn:
- 01:10 – The importance of AI to keep up with the competition
- 02:14 – What the process industry will look like over the next three to five years
- 05:46 – The future impact of AI on plant operations and industry
- 08:25 – How to know what you can and cannot do with AI
