"AI Transformation in Industry": Sber instructs pupils on how artificial intelligence is reshaping various sectors
In a groundbreaking event, the "Digital Day" project, organised by the Ministry of Digital Development, Ministry of Education, and ANO "Digital Economy" with the support of the Ministry of Education of Primorsky Krai, took place at the Regional Children's Center "Yunga". The project, in partnership with leading technology companies such as Sberbank, aimed to foster key competencies in the digital economy among children aged 7 to 17.
Ivan Troshin, Director of the Digital Client Development Department of the Far Eastern Sberbank, spoke on the topic of "Artificial Intelligence in Industry". Troshin explained how AI is revolutionising production tasks, including equipment failure prediction, product quality control, and enterprise safety monitoring. By implementing AI, human capabilities are enhanced, and new horizons for innovation are opened up, according to Troshin.
Real-life AI applications in industry are transformative. For instance, AI-powered predictive maintenance in manufacturing can cut maintenance costs by up to 30% and downtime by 15-40%, driving operational efficiency. Companies like General Electric use AI-based platforms to analyse sensor data from turbines and predict component failures before they occur, allowing scheduled maintenance to avoid downtime.
Similarly, real-time defect detection is conducted through computer vision AI that inspects manufacturing lines to identify product defects instantly, enabling rapid intervention to maintain quality standards. AI models also predict hazardous equipment malfunctions, thereby enhancing workplace safety by anticipating risks before failures happen.
Eugene Sudakov, leading consultant of the Information Security Department of the Ministry of Digital Development of Primorsky Krai, discussed the topic of "Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence". Sudakov focused on modern digital threats, such as deepfakes, counterfeit goods on marketplaces, and simbox farms. He explored ways to counteract these cyber threats alongside the children participating in the event.
Troshin suggested that future breakthrough solutions in various sectors may come from the children participating in the event. He highlighted the stages of AI implementation and future professions related to digital technologies. The "Digital Day" project is not just about learning, but about inspiring the next generation of digital innovators.
The "Digital Day" project is part of a broader initiative to prepare children for the digital economy of the future. By focusing on digital economy competencies, the project aims to equip children with the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world. The partnership with leading technology companies ensures that the project remains at the cutting edge of technological development.
In conclusion, the "Digital Day" event in Primorsky Krai demonstrated the transformative power of AI in industry and the importance of cybersecurity in the digital age. The event served as a platform for inspiring the next generation of digital innovators and fostering key competencies in the digital economy.
- Artificial Intelligence in Industry, as discussed by Ivan Troshin, is revolutionizing aspects such as product quality control and enterprise safety monitoring, which are crucial elements in the digital economy.
- Eugene Sudakov, a leading consultant in the Information Security Department of the Ministry of Digital Development of Primorsky Krai, emphasized the significance of cybersecurity, including countering modern threats like deepfakes and simbox farms, to ensure a secure digital economy.
