Artificial Intelligence promises to be a huge disruptor in many industries. It is hoped that this technology will be able to perform detailed analytical and repetitive tasks to a greater degree of accuracy and speed than is humanly possible. This seminar was hosted in London UK on 14 June 2024.
Looking beyond the hype to real-world examples of AI and machine learning being used in a railway setting, this seminar heard from industry experts including academics, specialists and government advisors.
What could the real impacts be for our sector? How will Safety and Assurance issues be understood and addressed before this technology can be deployed?
If you work as an engineer in the railway industry you cannot afford to miss these 10 sector specific expert presentations. Read the IRSE News' report of the day here (extract from IRSE News 317 January 2025)
