Abstract: 
Ear­ly adopters of Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence ( AI ) are already rev­o­lu­tion­iz­ing major sec­tors of our econ­o­my, includ­ing online mar­ket­ing & adver­tis­ing, con­sumer elec­tron­ics, health­care, media  & enter­tain­ment, and defense & intelligence. 

The next wave of AI promis­es to dis­rupt old­er, larg­er sec­tors of our econ­o­my – man­u­fac­tur­ing, ener­gy, trans­porta­tion, and robot­ics.  These sec­tors have his­tor­i­cal­ly invest­ed heav­i­ly in automa­tion tech­nolo­gies using rules-based sys­tems, with all of their limitations.

With the rise of the indus­tri­al inter­net of things, new tech­nolo­gies based on data-dri­ven AI sys­tems open a world of new oppor­tu­ni­ties. These new appli­ca­tions are able to apply AI mod­els to com­plex phys­i­cal sys­tems in harsh indus­tri­al envi­ron­ments.  These indus­tri­al appli­ca­tions have the poten­tial to unlock tril­lions of dol­lars of val­ue through increased effi­cien­cy, greater work­er pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, and ulti­mate­ly high­er qual­i­ty goods and infrastructure.

In this webi­nar, you’ll learn: 
 —    Key trends, chal­lenges, and oppor­tu­ni­ties in the indus­tri­al industry
 —    Top use cas­es and indus­tries, includ­ing man­u­fac­tur­ing, ener­gy, trans­porta­tion, and agriculture
 —    How NVIDIA and SAP address the 4^th indus­tri­al rev­o­lu­tion with AI/ML

He is pas­sion­ate about mon­i­tor­ing future trends and devel­op­ing and sus­tain­ing his broad net­work of busi­ness col­leagues and friends across the globe. 
Tak­ing a broad view of the over­all indus­try and using a large net­work of stake­hold­ers, Paul proac­tive­ly seeks to bring peo­ple togeth­er who will ben­e­fit from shar­ing their mutu­al expe­ri­ences and busi­ness know-how. And as Indus­try Ana­lyst, he keeps track of devel­op­ments in exist­ing and new tech­nolo­gies to improve busi­ness per­for­mance of corporations.

Since join­ing ASUG in 1993, Paul has held vol­un­teer lead­er­ship posi­tions in mul­ti­ple com­mu­ni­ties, includ­ing util­i­ties, plant main­te­nance, cen­ters of excel­lence, enter­prise archi­tec­ture, and enter­prise por­tals.
