Troy-based Automation Alley ’s fourth playbook of its 2024 Integr8 Roundtable Series is now available. It focuses on the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence and its potential to transform industries, enhance decision-making, and foster innovation.

According to the playbook, emerging technology continues to transform the world of production and creates an opportunity for companies to embrace it and gain a competitive advantage, but many companies don’t know where to start or how to incorporate the AI and machine learning into their own processes.

The insights for the playbook that were gathered at a March 13 roundtable discussion hosted by Automation Alley, which featured leaders from technology, manufacturing, government, and academic sectors can serve as a guide to help companies find those answers.

“The Rise of AI: Shaping Industries Through Intelligent Innovation” is available to view and download here.

“Artificial Intelligence is the most disruptive innovation of our lifetime,” says Tom Kelly, executive director and CEO of Automation Alley. “Today’s manufacturers must invest the time and effort to build new processes to unlock the value in AI and machine learning. This playbook offers important insights for companies on what to consider and how to get started to realize their potential.”

The playbook provides advice on the establishment of artificial intelligence and machine learning in manufacturing and defining best practices for intelligent innovation in the industry.

Topics discussed include:

  • Opportunities and challenges of AI in the workforce.
  • Using artificial intelligence and machine learning in manufacturing.
  • Ethics of adopting AI.
  • Recommendations for developing AI objectives and strategies.
  • The importance of investment in data infrastructure and cybersecurity.
  • The use of AI in research & development.
  • Using AI for automation.
  • Using AI to enhance learning experiences.

“The Rise of AI: Shaping Industries Through Intelligent Innovation” is sponsored by Fraunhofer USA and was produced in partnership with Walsh College.

The 2024 Integr8 Roundtable Series offers invite-only roundtable sessions where leaders from industry, academia and government meet to discuss the opportunities and challenges surrounding various Industry 4.0 topics.

Building on the momentum of the Roundtable Series of discussions conducted earlier in the year, the Integr8 Roundtable Summit is scheduled for Oct. 3 in Detroit.
