Workshop 2: Industrial AI in Decentralized Systems
Artificial Intelligence is the key innovation driver for industrial digital transformation. With initiatives like IPCEI-AI and IPCEI-CIC, AI is moving to the center of European funding policy. But how can industrial AI applications be scaled, secured, and made sovereign—especially in decentralized cloud and edge environments?
This interactive 60-minute workshop explores the role of industrial AI in distributed systems and its significance for a future-proof AI ecosystem.
Participants will dive into:
- The role of edge computing in industrial AI: technical advantages and limitations
- Requirements for AI models to operate in real-time at the edge
- Open-source components in sovereign AI ecosystems
- Integration of data spaces into industrial AI systems
- Industrial use cases that benefit most from decentralized AI
- Lessons learned from implementations such as predictive maintenance and visual quality control
The session also addresses legal challenges at the intersection of AI technologies and intellectual property law:
- Navigating licensing requirements for open-source AI
- Key considerations when using data for AI training
