Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the key technologies of the digital transformation. It is currently the focus of attention across all sectors. It is a growth driver for industry, while at the same time transforming the world of work, the energy, education and mobility sectors.
Some forms of AI are already being used extensively today. For example, industry is using AI applications for smart factories that function almost without human intervention. AI takes over production control and maintenance. A development such as autonomous driving is also highly dependent on artificial intelligence. Self-learning algorithms are used there, which have to make the right decisions based on large amounts of data in the shortest possible time. Many other industries, from the energy and healthcare sectors to agriculture, rely on AI applications and are already using them.
The specialist dossier “Artificial intelligence – key technology of digital change” highlights specific application scenarios as well as the functionality, forms and typologies of artificial intelligence. It also uses examples to illustrate the potential that the use of AI-based technologies offers, even for areas that were originally not technology-focused.
The specialist dossiers of aconium GmbH are published in loose succession and deal with the effects and potential of digitalisation.
