Professor Dominik Boesl, author, futurologist, and techno-optimist, is asked in element14 new interview series, “Top Tech Voices,” what a future in which automation and robotics coexist with humans would entail.
In addition to leading the global “Robotic & AI Governance” effort to create a framework for voluntary self-regulation regarding the use of disruptive technologies, Boesl began his career in 1999 at Siemens before joining Microsoft Germany in 2005, where he held a number of leadership positions, including national responsibility for developer evangelism.
He has cultivated interdisciplinary discussions regarding the impact of robotics and automation on society and humanity, is a globally recognized expert in Ethics for Robotics and AI, and serves as the acting ambassador for the global IEEE TechEthics initiative.
Hosted by award-winning AI Content and Prompt Engineering Strategist, Georgia Lewis Anderson, among the topics Boesl covers in the latest episode are:
- How humans and machines can collaborate more effectively on the factory floor.
- The role of IIoT in driving sustainable manufacturing practices.
- How different regions are adapting to the changes brought by IIoT in manufacturing
- Boesl’s vision of the factory of the future in terms of layout and operations.
- How smart sensors contribute to real-time data analytics in manufacturing.
- The primary challenges manufacturers face when implementing IIoT solutions and how they can be mitigated.
- How the role of workers will change in highly automated factories and what skills will be essential.
