MDBF Seminars – Dr. Shahid Mumtaz

Dr. Shahid Mumtaz from Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT) Portugal will be our guest at the seminar organized by our Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences as part of the IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Lecturers Program.

Dr. Mumtaz will give a presentation titled “6G: Industrial AI Perspectives” on Friday, October 24 at 10:00 am in B-210. The event is open to all interested parties and is in English.

Özet:
Intelligence is the ability to model our thinking and sensing processes through various intelligent models. In industrial AI, engineers develop and deploy AI algorithms consistently and systematically to achieve repeatable and consistent results. Therefore, in this talk, I will explain the different trends of Industrial AI and how it is different from Industry 4.0.

Moreover, different societal versions will be explained in comparison with Industrial AI. In the end, other vital challenges and use cases will be described. In addressing the real-world implementation of Industrial AI, this research will guide and provide a roadmap for researchers and industries.
