13th German-Japanese Economic ForumAI in industrial production – the self-learning factory of the future
General information
In the future, artificial intelligence is going to have a decisive impact on
numerous areas of society and the economy. Self-learning andintelligent systems will be increasingly employed in production
processes. Machines will autonomously report incorrect settings, while
production units will recognize data stream structures, learn from themand independently reprogram themselves. The factories of the future
will be able to adapt to changing requirements on their own.
At the 13th German-Japanese Business Forum, experts from industry,science and government will discuss potential AI applications forindustrial processes.
