Summary

Only when the challenges of data accessibility and expensive computing power were mitigated did the AI field experience exponential growth.There are now more than a dozen types of AI being advanced. This feature originally appeared in InTech magazine's August issue, a special edition from ISA's Smart Manufacturing and IIoT Division.

Artificial intelligence has come a long way since scientists first wondered if machines could think.

In the 20th century, the world became familiar with artificial intelligence (AI) as sci-fi robots who could think and act like humans. By the 1950s, British scientist and philosopher Alan Turing posed the question Can machines think? in his seminal work on computing machinery and intelligence, where he discussed creating machines that can think and make decisions the same way humans do (Reference 1). Although Turings ideas set the stage for future AI research, his ideas were ridiculed at the time. It took several decades and an immense amount of work from mathematicians and scientists to develop the field of artificial intelligence, which is formally defined as the understanding that machines can interpret, mine, and learn from external data in a way that imitates human cognitive practices (Reference 2).

Even though scientists were becoming more accustomed to the idea of AI, data accessibility and expensive computing power hindered its growth. Only when these challenges were mitigated after several AI winters (with limited advances in the field) did the AI field experience exponential growth. There are now more than a dozen types of AI being advanced (Figure).

Due to the accelerated popularity of AI in the 2010s, venture capital funding flooded into a large number of startups focused on machine learning (ML). This technology centers on continuously learning algorithms that make decisions or identify patterns. For example, the YouTube algorithm may recommend less relevant videos at first, but over time it learns to recommend better targeted videos based on the users previously watched videos.

The three main types of ML are supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. Supervised learning refers to an algorithm finding the relationship between a set of input variables and known labeled output variable(s), so it can make predictions about new input data. Unsupervised learning refers to the task of intelligently identifying patterns and categories from unlabeled data and organizing it in a way that makes it easier to discover insights. Lastly, reinforcement learning refers to intelligent agents that take actions in a defined environment based on a certain set of reward functions.

Deep learning, a subset of ML, had numerous ground-breaking advances throughout the 2010s. Similar to the connections between the nervous system cells in the brain, neural networks consist of several thousand to a million hidden nodes and connections. Each node acts as a mathematical function, which, when combined, can solve extremely complex problems like image classification, translation, and text generation.

Human lifestyle and productivity have drastically improved with the advances in artificial intelligence. Health care, for example, has seen immense AI adoption with robotic surgeries, vaccine development, genome sequencing, etc. (Reference 5). So far, the adoption in manufacturing and agriculture has been slow, but these industries have immense untapped AI possibilities (Reference 6). According to a recent article published by Deloitte, the manufacturing industry has high hopes for AI because the annual data generated in this industry is thought to be around 1,800 petabytes (Reference 7).

This proliferation in data, if properly managed, essentially acts as a fuel that drives advanced analytical solutions that can be used for the following (Reference 8):

Ultimately, AI and advanced analytics can augment humans to help mitigate repetitive and sometimes even dangerous tasks while increasing focus on endeavors that drive high value. AI is not a far-fetched concept; it is already here, and it is having a substantial impact in a wide range of industries. Finance, national security, health care, criminal justice, transportation, and smart cities are examples of this.

AI adoption has been steadily increasing. Companies are reporting 56 percent adoption in 2021, an uptick of 6 percent compared to 2020 (Reference 10). With the technology becoming more mainstream, the trends of achieving solutions that emphasize explainability, accessibility, data quality, and privacy are amplified.

Explainability drives trust:To keep up with the continuous demand of more accurate AI models, hard-to-explain (black-box) models are used. Not being able to explain these models makes it difficult to achieve user trust and to pinpoint problems (bias, parameters, etc.), which can result in unreliable models that are difficult to scale. Due to these concerns, the industry is adopting more explainable artificial intelligence (XAI).

According to IBM, XAI is a set of processes and methods that allows human users to comprehend and trust the ML algorithms outputs (Reference 11). Additionally, explainability can increase accountability and governance.

Increasing AI accessibility:The productization of cloud computing for ML has taken the large compute resources and models, once reserved only for big tech companies, and put them in the hands of individual consumers and smaller organizations. This drastic shift in accessibility has fueled further innovation in the field. Now, consumers and enterprises of all sizes can reap the benefits of:

Data mindset shift:Historically, model-centric ML development, i.e., keeping the data fixed and iterating over the model and its parameters to improve performances (Reference 12), has been the typical approach. Unfortunately, the performance of a model is only as good as the data used to train it. Although there is no scarcity of data, high-performing models require accurate, properly labeled, and representative datasets. This concept has shifted the mindset from model-centric development toward data-centric developmentwhen you systematically change or enhance your datasets to improve the performance of the model (Reference 12).

An example of how to improve data quality is to create descriptive labeling guidelines to mitigate recall bias when using data labeling companies like AWS Mechanical Turk. Additionally, responsible AI frameworks should be in place to ensure data governance, security and privacy, fairness, and inclusiveness.

Data privacy through federated learning:The importance of data privacy has not only forged the path to new laws (e.g., GDPR and CCPA), but also new technologies. Federated learning enables ML models to be trained using decentralized datasets without exchanging the training data. Personal data remains in local sites, reducing the possibility of personal data breaches.

Additionally, the raw data does not need to be transferred, which helps make predictions in real time. For example Google uses federated learning to improve on-device machine learning models like Hey Google in Google Assistant, which allows users to issue voice commands (Reference 13).

Maintenance, demand forecasting, and quality control are processes that can be optimized through the use of artificial intelligence. To achieve these use cases, data is ingested from smart interconnected devices and/or systems such as SCADA, MES, ERP, QMS, and CMMS. This data is brought into machine learning algorithms on the cloud or on the edge to deliver actionable insights. According to IoT Analytics (Reference 14), the top AI applications are:

Vision-based AI systems and robotics have helped develop automated inspection solutions for machines. These automated systems have not only been proven to save human lives but have radically reduced inspection times. There have been significant examples where AI has outperformed humans, and it is a safe bet to conclude that several AI applications enable humans to make informed and quick decisions (Reference 15).

Given the myriad additional AI applications in manufacturing, we cannot cover them all. But a good example to delve deeper into is predictive maintenance, because it has such a large effect on industry.

Generally, maintenance follows one of four approaches: reactive, or fix what is broken; planned, or scheduled maintenance activities; proactive, or defect elimination to improve performance; and predictive, which uses advanced analytics and sensing data to predict machine reliability.

Predictive maintenance can help flag anomalies, anticipate remaining useful life, and provide mitigations or maintenance (Reference 17). Compared to the simple corrective or condition-based nature of the first three maintenance approaches, predictive maintenance is preventive and takes into account more complex, dynamic patterns. It can also adapt its predictions over time as the environment changes. Once accurate failure models are built, companies can build mathematical models to reduce costs and choose the best maintenance schedules based on production timelines, team bandwidth, replacement piece availabilityand other factors.

Bombardier, an aircraft manufacturer, has adopted AI techniques to predict the demand of its aircraft parts based on input features (i.e., flight activity ) to optimize its inventory management (Reference 18).

This example and others show how advances in AI depend on advances associated with other Industry 4.0 technologies, including cloud and edge computing, advanced sensing and data gathering, and wired and wireless networking.

The need for organizations to quickly create new business models and marketing channels has accelerated AI adoption throughout the past couple of years. This is especially true in healthcare, where data analytics accelerated the development of COVID-19 vaccines. In consumer-packaged goods, Harvard Business Reviewreportedthat Frito-Lay created an e-commerce platform,Snacks.com, in just 30 days.

The pandemic also accelerated AI adoption in education, as schools were forced to enable online learning overnight. And wherever possible, the world shifted to touchless transactions, completely transforming the banking industry.

Three technology developments during the pandemic accelerated AI adoption:

[ Also readArtificial Intelligence: How to stay competitive. ]

Lets look at the pros and cons of these developments for IT leaders.

Even 60 years after Moores Law, computing power is increasing, with more powerful machines and more processing power through new chips from companies like NVidia.AI Impactsreports that computing power available per dollar has probably increased by a factor of ten roughly every four years over the last quarter of a century (measured in FLOPS or MIPS). However, the rate has been slower over the past 6-8 years.

Pros: More for less

Inexpensive computing gives IT leaders more choices, enabling them to do more with less.

Cons: Too many choices can lead to wasted time and money

Consider big data. With inexpensive computing, IT pros want to wield its power. There is a desire to start ingesting and analyzing all available data, leading to better insights, analysis, and decision-making.

But if you are not careful, you could end up with massive computing power and not enough real-life business applications.

As networking, storage, and computing costs drop, the human inclination is to use them more. But they dont necessarily deliver business value to everything.

Before the pandemic, the terms data warehouses and data lakes were standard and they remain so today. But new data architectures like data fabric and data mesh were almost non-existent. Data fabric enables AI adoption because it enables enterprises to use data to maximize their value chain by automating data discovery, governance, and consumption. Organizations can provide the right data at the right time, regardless of where it resides.

Pros: IT leaders will have the opportunity to rethink data models and data governance

It provides a chance to buck the trend toward centralized data repositories or data lakes. This might mean more edge computing and data available where it is most relevant. These advancements result in appropriate data being automatically available for decisioning critical to AI operability.

Cons: Not understanding the business need

IT leaders need to understand the business and AI aspects of new data architectures. If they dont know what each part of the business needs including the kind of data and where and how it will be used they may not create the correct type of data architecture and data consumption for proper support. ITs understanding of the business needs, and the business models that go with that data architecture, will be essential.

Statistaresearch underscores the growth of data: The total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally was 64.2 zettabytes in 2020 and is projected to reach more than 180 zettabytes in 2025. Statista research from May 2022 reports, The growth was higher than previously expected, caused by the increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Big data sources include media, cloud, IoT, the web, and databases.

Pros: Data is powerful

Every decision and transaction can be traced back to a data source. If IT leaders can use AIOps/MLOps to zero in on data sources for analysis and decision-making, they are empowered. Proper data can deliver instant business analysis and provide deep insights for predictive analysis.

Cons: How do you know what data to use?

More on artificial intelligence

Besieged by data from IoT, edge computing, formatted and unformatted, intelligent and unintelligible IT leaders are dealing with the 80/20 rule: What are the 20 percent credible data sources that deliver 80 percent of the business value? How do you use AI/ML ops to determine the credible data sources, and what data source should be used for analysis and decision-making? Every organization needs to find answers to these questions.

AI is becoming ubiquitous, powered by new algorithms and increasingly plentiful and inexpensive computing power. AI technology has been on an evolutionary road for more than 70 years. The pandemic did not accelerate the development of AI; it accelerated its adoption.

Harnessing AI is the challenge ahead.
