Machine Learning beyond Industry 4.0

The concepts of Industry 4.0 and Machine Learning have become closely associated in the past years. We now see many industries adopt overarching principles of data driven, automated and interconnected manufacturing. As we shift our attention to Industry 5.0, how does ML support the idea of a sustainable, resilient andhuman centered manufacturing landscape? This keynote will explore how intelligence becomes deeply ingrained in the way we design and build single processors, complex machinery and entire factoriesin order to meet this new vision.
