Where is AI most useful for a business?

It has been said that those businesses that do not embrace AI are not likely to progress and be successful.

But many are worried about the risks it poses.

So where can AI help a business without too much worry?

It is being used successfully in Coventry’s PepsiCo factory – where some of the UK’s most popular crisps are made.

Sensors attached to equipment are also listening out for indications of hardware faults. This is to ensure equipment faults are spotted before they cause a halt to production.

It is also exploring how AI can increase factory efficiency, reduce waste, improve energy consumption and get products onto shelves sooner.

It is also argued that the use of AI can benefit workers by keeping production line workers safe around machinery – using machine learning and computer vision techniques to monitor factory camera feeds to identify possible threats or accidents.

So while there may be concerns about the effects of AI in business there are already some benefits being seen.
