What this episode covers

Chuck Byers, CTO of the Industry IoT Consortium and former CTO of Valqari, discusses how AI is transforming the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape. He explains that AI enables autonomy by processing vast sensor data to detect anomalies and adjust actuators, while generative AI assists in coding and natural language interfaces for device control. Byers highlights the critical role of training data, including historical 'historian' data and physics-based digital twins, and warns about biases in models trained on limited or skewed datasets. He concludes by predicting that AI will replace many routine network management and customer support roles, shifting the workforce toward data wrangling and validation.

    AI in Manufacturing: Fusing Human Knowledge and IIoT Data w/ Christopher Nguyen

    Christopher Nguyen, CEO & Co-Founder of Aitomatic, explains why effective AI in manufacturing requires fusing IIoT data with the tacit knowledge of frontline workers. He argues that pure data-driven models fail in physical domains due to the 'data wall' and lack of failure examples, necessitating the capture of domain expertise. Nguyen discusses how his software helps industrial companies translate unstructured human knowledge into structured forms to improve defect detection and process optimization.
