SUMMARY:Intersection of AI and APIs at DeveloperWeek Europe
DESCRIPTION:Frank Kilcommins\, API Technical Evangelist at SmartBear\, a leading provider of software development and visibility solutions\, is presenting\, “The Arazzo Specification – Unlocking API Value for Humans and Machines\,” at DeveloperWeek Europe\, taking place live online on Wednesday\, June 5 – Thursday\, June 6\, 2024. As AI and APIs intersect at the heart of technical innovation\, the Arazzo Specification is preparing developers for the wave of AI API consumers. DeveloperWeek Europe gathers 2\,000+ engineering professionals and technical leaders for the largest virtual software developer conference and expo for Europe’s tech community. \nWHAT: SmartBear’s Frank Kilcommins presenting virtually at DeveloperWeek Europe \nWHEN: Wednesday\, June 5\, 2024\, 12:30 p.m. IST \nREGISTER: https://www.developerweek.com/europe/register/ \nFrank has over 15 years of experience in the technology industry\, his roles spanning from software engineering to enterprise architecture. His mission is to inspire\, engage with\, and support the API community as well as SmartBear customers across the end-to-end API development lifecycle and management space. \nFrank is discussing how the new Arazzo Specification\, developed under the OpenAPI Initiative\, enables the ability to craft workflows\, a series of API calls\, in a human- and machine-readable format. The Arazzo Specification can provide a sufficient level of predictable determinism to AI models\, allowing them to offer a natural language abstraction on top of the business use cases\, while in parallel giving interoperability benefits to the actual API providers. The result is more value with less vendor lock-in and consistent API offerings for both humans and the new wave of AI consumers. Arazzo Specification can provide a sufficient level of predictable determinism to AI models\, allowing them to offer a natural language abstraction on top of the business use cases\, while in parallel giving interoperability benefits to the actual API providers. The result is more value with less vendor lock-in and consistent API offerings for both humans and the new wave of AI consumers. \nThe benefits for human consumers are equally valuable\, and the Arazzo Specification affords the ability to unlock API value and improve developer experience for API producers and consumers. Overall\, the Arazzo Specification improves the capability of API specifications to tell the story of the API in a manner that improves interoperability across industries. \nSmartBear is at the forefront of AI-driven software development. To simplify the developer experience\, the company is connecting teams’ favorite tools and functionality in intuitive solution hubs\, featuring SmartBear HaloAI\, trusted AI-driven technology deploying across its product portfolio\, empowering development teams to achieve unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation.

SUMMARY:Ethics in Autonomous Industrial AI: Tackling Bias and Data Privacy
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS WEBINAR \n\nWe rarely talk about biases or data privacy when it comes to industrial automation\, and we should. Autonomous mobile robots can have cameras\, sensors and listening devices. Should we be telling our customers? Our employees and contractors? Join us and our expert guests on ethics and data privacy to talk about underlying issues of expected and real privacy issues in manufacturing and automation environments. \n\nPRESENTER\n\n\n \n\nJim Beretta \nJim Beretta is president at Customer Attraction\, a Marketing Consulting company specializing in the automation and robotics industry.

SUMMARY:M2030 Project: Preparing for the GenAI Revolution: Enterprise Readiness in Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI has hit the business world like a tidal wave. In one short year\, it’s estimated that anywhere from 25% to 35% of enterprises are already beginning to adopt GenAI. \nGenAI holds immense potential to help manufacturers adapt to changing market dynamics\, unlock new avenues for growth and innovation and achieve competitive advantage. From equipment diagnostics and supply chain optimization to product quality and design acceleration\, GenAI has opened a whole new realm of opportunities and challenges for enterprises. But as with any rapid\, revolutionary technology\, readiness\, responsible application and speed to market are essential to differentiation and competitive advantage. \nWhat we’ll discuss: \n\nCurrent Market Trends and Adoption: Get the latest on fast-moving technology innovations and how they are being vetted and adopted by companies.\nGenAI applications in Manufacturing: There are many potential manufacturing use cases. We’ll explore how to identify and prioritize the ones that’ll generate the most value for your organization.\nEnterprise Considerations and Readiness for GenAI: We’ll discuss how to prepare your enterprise to bring GenAI to life\, from your data foundation and cloud architecture to governance and change management.\nChallenges to Deployment: While manufacturers see the potential of technologies like GenAI\, they face roadblocks to implementing them. MLC research shows that 56% say they have an organizational structure or culture that is resistant to change\, while 37% say they are held back by the need to upgrade their legacy systems.\n\nAn executive conversation with: \n\nWendy Collins\, Chief AI Officer\, NTT DATA\nSteven Moskowitz\, Ph.D.\, Senior Director\, Manufacturing Leadership Council\n\nThis call is part of the MLC’s Manufacturing in 2030 project.
