Dear member,
Interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at an all-time high, especially as it shows unparalleled growth within the Connected Worker landscape. An article published by Forbes in January 2024 highlighted that ‘armed with digital tools such as AI, connected workers are not only boosting their productivity, safety, and efficiency on the factory floor but also becoming empowered with the information and tools they need to make informed decisions and improve their performance.’
Ahead of the AI in Energy Summit in Houston, from June 17-18, we’ve highlighted the top five applications of AI, delving into renewable energy, smart grids, and more in an insightful infographic: 5 Ways Artificial Intelligence (AI) Is Reshaping the Energy Sector.
Furthermore, a growing shift in AI capabilities opens a realm of possibilities for businesses, playing a major role in their existence and growth. To learn more about the disruptive impact of AI, we sat down with Maurice Tayeh, Global Chief Information Officer at Hatch for an exclusive interview: How to Strategize in the Era of Technological Evolution. Read as Maurice shares his approach on how leaders can effectively strategize and realize the potential of AI across the enterprise.
