Recycling today is a joke. Many municipal rubbish collectors just dump recycled waste in the landfill with everything else. Furthermore, because recycling is unpleasant and expensive, many first world countries ship their waste to 3rd world countries, pay them to process it, and then walk away with a clear conscience knowing it’s now someone else’s problem. Not […]
On August 4, 1997, Skynet came online to control the weapons arsenal of the United States with a mandate of “safeguarding the world.” Skynet started to learn at a geometric rate and became self-aware at 2:14am on August 29, 1997. Humans saw the artificial intelligence (AI) as a threat and attempted to shut it down. […]
In a 2016 article from Business Insider, General Electric described what an ideal intelligent factory would look like. Their vision for the “Brilliant Factory,” as they called it, would start with automatic ordering based on detected customer need, and use 3D printing technologies to design, prototype, and test a new part in hours rather than […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) has certainly become a popular buzzword. But it’s more than that–it’s a critical new technology that too many companies have heard about yet aren’t certain how to use. Today, and every day for the foreseeable future, a multitude of industries and companies are contemplating how to implement AI solutions into their operations. […]
“Someday AI will change the world. But it is important to realize that statistics ≠ knowledge, and that <<deep learning>> is much more superficial than people realize. We still have a long way to go”, said Gary Marcus, one of the top AI researcher, Founder and CEO of Geometric Intelligence for Onalytica. From my perspective, […]
As I described in the first article of the “Artificial Intelligence Seasons” series, the technological singularity storm is on the horizon, with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) being one of the most hyped concepts. Let’s take a closer look at what AGI entails and its implications. AGI vs. Human Intelligence Surprisingly, there is no unified definition […]
As industries race to meet sustainability targets, a quiet shift is taking place—one that moves beyond net-zero goals and toward circular economy thinking. No longer just a compliance checkbox, circularity is becoming a competitive advantage. And increasingly, AI is the engine, making it viable at scale.Today’s linear production models—extract, make, dispose—are no longer tenable in a world […]
Birth of AI. WinterThe terms “artificial intelligence” and “machine learning” began shaping the technological landscape in the mid-20th century, with the official birth of AI at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956. John McCarthy and his colleagues coined “artificial intelligence” there. The following decades saw bursts of progress and enthusiasm. Early optimism in the 1960s and […]
At Automate 2024 in Chicago, the convergence of robotics expertise and industrial innovation showcases the transformative potential of advanced tactile technologies in manufacturing. Companies at the forefront are not just evolving; they are fundamentally changing how robots interact with their environments, heralding a new era of efficiency and safety.Innovating Beyond Simple NavigationModern robotics transcends the […]
In this interview with Frank Notz, a Festo Board Member, we delve into how the company integrates AI to transform industrial environments.Artificial intelligence is rapidly emerging as a game-changer in industrial applications, particularly for companies seeking to transition from traditional factory settings to intelligent, data-driven environments. The integration of AI not only converts raw data into actionable […]
We’re living in a world where the things around us are becoming smarter. Thousands of internet of things (IoT) sensors on industrial equipment, embedded in city infrastructure and packaged into today’s products, are collecting data. That data helps unlock insights that can optimize operations, improve customer service and drive innovation. It’s possible for a manufacturer, […]
