Seminar 4:
Speaker: Prof Dr Sven Laumer (Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg)

Seminar Title: How Can Artificial Intelligence Enhance Car Manufacturing?

Seminar Date: 26th Oct 2021

Seminar Overview: The latest boom of artificial intelligence (AI) has left the information management community in strong need of structure-providing, high-level overview works to enable researchers and practitioners alike to keep track of that steep development along its numerous possible application domains. So it is among other things that AI is said to incorporate enormous potential for reducing the operational costs of car manufacturers all over the globe. Nevertheless, many of them are still struggling with adopting it at large scale just exactly because of a lack of knowledge on if and where to apply it. This talk is therefore designed to discuss which general use cases exist for AI within the context of car manufacturing, which ones might be most the most promising ones to pursue at this early stage and what are adoption challenges at both organizatioal and individual level that inhibit the implementation and use of AI in car manufacturing.
