Remember my blog on <\/em>NASA, ESA, and AI<\/em><\/a>? Or, Saab Gripen\/E\u2019s <\/em>record-low operational cost<\/em><\/a>, Software-First <\/em>architecture<\/em><\/a>, and top-class Electronic Warfare System <\/em>EWS<\/em><\/a>? Or, on deep ML in <\/em>life sciences<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0 <\/em>in-silico research<\/em><\/a>, mRNA <\/em>vaccine design<\/em><\/a>, or some <\/em>similarities<\/em><\/a> of MilTech defending a peaceful country against a (Russian) aggressor and MedTech defending patients against an aggressive virus? These are hardly the first ideas to cross your mind whenever talking about AI Factory.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed<\/em> in <\/em>practice<\/em><\/a> as well as in <\/em>training & education<\/em><\/a>, the AIF mainstream has been \u201ctraditional\u201d industry such as manufacturing\/automotive because of its practical experience in robotics, automation, and lights-out factories (the first robotic line assembling new robots was launched in Japan 23 years ago).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Having said that, let\u00b4s add that \u201cnew<\/em>\u201d industry and service<\/a> sectors are applying the AIF tech&business pattern at an awesome pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The common denominator across most sectors is empowerment <\/em>of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flying a Gripen shall (and does<\/em>) feel simple and smooth thank all the reasoning made by the pilot\u2019s \u201ctool\u201d itself \u2013 the aircraft. This enables him\/her to concentrate on tactics, to think a step ahead of the enemy, to jam and spoof enemy sensors; for example, to see a Russian fleet on radar without ever turning the nose eastward, because the EWS can make the radar waves turn sideways (during a NATO war game in the US, a Gripen scored 10 \u201ckills\u201d out of 10 air duels).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designing a rocket engine at SpaceX shall (and does<\/em>) feel intuitive and smooth, enabling the designers to concentrate on tasks rather than on tool detail; \u201crocket science\u201d only literally, no longer figuratively \u2013 this demo by Elon Musk<\/a> was made a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use to lunch with a business colleague since 15+ years back. We cooperated on UML\/SysML modeling and training early on; he\u2019s working for a European finance corporation. This spring, we talked mostly about AI-Ops, GPT-4, and generative AI in IT architecture<\/em>, both<\/em> ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
