Transformative AI Implementation: Insights from Dr. Sidharth Sharma at UOM's MSc AI Course Award Ceremony

Last week, the University of Mauritius and the HRDC hosted an exceptional event to honor the first cohort of professionals who excelled in the MSc Artificial Intelligence (AI) program. Among the distinguished speakers, our Group CEO, Dr. Sidharth Sharma , took the stage to share his profound insights on AI implementation within our dynamic group of companies. Let's dive into the key highlights of his captivating presentation:

?

Dr. Sharma began by highlighting the diverse application areas of AI at RHT Group. With our vast amount of data, AI proves to be a powerful tool for spotting patterns, even with more modest data volumes. Contrary to common belief, AI can be effective in demand forecasting, allowing us to optimize cash flow utilization and drive better operational outcomes. ????

One specific area where AI shines is in predictive maintenance and estimating the cost of repairs, a critical aspect of our fleet-specialized subsidiary - FleetPro Services Ltd . By harnessing AI's capabilities, we will be able to identify potential vehicle issues before they become major problems, leading to substantial savings and increased uptime for our clients. ????

?

In the realm of mobility, AI plays a significant role for our flagship company - RHT Bus Services Ltd . Through the utilization of AI-powered chatbots and optimization algorithms, we can produce monthly crew rosters in just one minute, considering operational constraints. This streamlined approach will not only save time and resources but also enhance operational efficiency, ensuring a seamless transportation experience for our customers. ???

E-commerce has also witnessed the transformative power of AI within our group. Our new e-commerce platform, izy.market , will be able to leverage AI to deliver personalized product recommendations, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and increased sales. Additionally, AI chatbots will be able to handle customer queries and support requests.??????

The integration of AI with our IoT solutions, provided by ICL & ICL Zambia , presents a tremendous opportunity for energy conservation. Through AI's ability to detect patterns in energy usage, we can intelligently adjust HVAC systems, reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainability. ??????

Dr. Sharma concluded his presentation with these insightful final remarks:

• AI has the potential to create tremendous wealth.
• Each project requires a custom-built approach; there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
• AI's impact is comparable to the transformative effect of the chisel and the tablet on literacy.
• High-quality data provision, not coding skills, is crucial for successful AI implementation.
• We are at an inflection point in the exponential growth of AI, and the collective will and creativity of people will shape its future.
• The ethical implications of AI, particularly when linked to robotics and unlimited computational power, remain significant challenges that require careful consideration.

Congratulations to our colleague, Uways Kureeman , General Manager at ICL, for his outstanding achievement in obtaining his MSc in Artificial Intelligence! His dedication and commitment to advancing your knowledge in this transformative field are truly commendable.

By harnessing the power of AI, we are unlocking new opportunities, driving innovation, and delivering enhanced services to our valued clients. Together, let's embark on this exciting journey where technology and human ingenuity converge to shape a brighter future. ??
