The titans of heavy industry lean in to artificial intelligence

If you’ve read this blog over the last few months, you know we’ve been focused on artificial intelligence, neural networks and machine learning; and rightfully so — they are the next frontiers of technology, business and the future of commerce. In each of those cases, however, most/all of those use-cases involve computer-based computations (obviously) leading to mostly computer-based outputs. Now, many of these digital outputs produced actionable (and acted upon) intel — AlphaGo specifically used machine learning in order to make Go moves against a human player — but the massive data crunching mostly existed in a digital world.

GE is taking AI to the next, physical level; it could have huge ramifications for how heavy industry operates in the future.

Per Bloomberg: “General Electric Co. is unveiling software for boosting its machines’ productivity and streamlining repairs, alongside deals with Danish shipping line Maersk Corp. and French energy producer Dalkia SA.”

What does this mean? Well, heavy manufacturers are outfitting their machines with data monitors and diagnostic software to better manage, update and upgrade their fleets of machines. Bloomberg continued:
