In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Interview Series, our conversation today centers on the integration of two worlds in manufacturing environments to achieve digitalization and Industry 4.0. In many manufacturing environments there is the physical world, or OT systems, composed of machines and industrial equipment. Then there is the digital world, or IT systems, composed of servers, networking, and other apps to run and process data. Thanks to advances in technology, we are seeing a convergence of these two worlds, but there are still a number of challenges that organizations must overcome. In this episode, I’m joined by , Head of Marketing, Factory Automation and Smart Data, Siemens, to discuss common challenges we are seeing with the IT/OT convergence and what Siemens is doing to help organizations overcome these roadblocks and find success. Our conversation centered on the following:  Current trends that are impacting today’s production environment The opportunities that come with connecting the shop floor to IT systems Top barriers to implementing smart factories and complete IT/OT convergence How organizations can overcome these barriers An overview of the Siemens Mindsphere and Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform that will support the IT/OT convergence  This was a great conversation and one you don’t want to miss.

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the 5G ecosystem as a whole, we review the major mobile ecosystem moves to make AI open, responsible, and transparent including Intel’s Enterprise AI proposition emphasizing open industry software for developer productivity, Qualcomm’s Responsible AI vision focus on privacy and security, and Nokia using Transparent AI across its audio portfolio development. Our analytical review spotlighted: Intel Enterprise AI Strategy Emphasizes Openness.&nbsp;At Intel Vision 2024 Intel sharpened its Enterprise AI proposition across critical sectors such as finance, manufacturing, and healthcare as they are rapidly seeking to broaden accessibility to AI and transitioning generative AI (GenAI) projects from experimental phases to full-scale implementation. We delve into why the Gaudi 3 AI accelerator launch underpins Intel’s vison by bringing together AI-dedicated compute engine, memory boost for LLM capacity requirements, efficient scaling for enterprise GenAI, open industry software for developer productivity, and Gaudi 3 PCIe capabilities as well as&nbsp; Bharti Airtel’s selection of Intel’s AI technology for enhancing its telecom data to improve customer experience and Infosys collaborating to bring Intel technologies to&nbsp;Infosys Topaz, an AI-first set of services, solutions and platforms that seek to accelerate business value using GenAI technologies. Qualcomm Emphasizes Privacy and Security in Responsible AI Vision. Qualcomm, in a recent blog by Durga Malladi, SVP &amp; GM, Technology Planning &amp; Edge Solutions, detailed its vision for shaping the future of AI responsibly by spotlighting that one of the core principles of responsible AI is&nbsp;privacy and security. This is especially pertinent as AI systems collect and analyze vast amounts of data to protect individuals' privacy rights and ensure the security of sensitive information. We assess why Qualcomm, by promoting transparency, is effectively targeting the fostering of trust that can enable users to make informed decisions about AI technologies, ensuring that they align with their values and expectations. Nokia Attains Audio Portfolio Gains Through Transparent AI. Nokia’s applications of transparent AI in audio product development, such as&nbsp;OZO Audio&nbsp;and&nbsp;Immersive Voice, plays an integral role in providing mobile device owners with sounds of immersion, clarity and focus. This level of quality requires extensive exploration, analysis and testing at every step of the development process. Many of the smart features of these audio solutions, such as applying noise reduction, are developed by training algorithms. We delve into how Nokia’s research and engineering team running audio data through machine-learning (ML) models, can analyze the output and tweak the algorithms until the team gets the desired result for its product. This includes using Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM). a cluster-management, resource-allocation and job-scheduling system that shows which user ran a specific job and with what resources, together with the container system Apptainer, allows Nokia to transfer its code transparently between various allocated resources in the company’s datacenter.
