Generative AI and Sustainability

Governments, social scientists, technologists, and even the heads of AI organizations are expressing concerns about the potential misuse of the power unleashed by Foundation Models and Generative AI. Many nations and organizations have already started taking steps to regulate this powerful technology to prevent possible misuse and disruption of the societal fabric. Fear and concerns are synonymous with the approach toward nuclear technology worldwide. 

The teams of the Object Management Group (OMG) Responsible Computing Initiative launched a Tiger team to study and evaluate the potential concerns regarding Generative AI Techniques (GAIT) and recommend ways to channel the capabilities of GAIT responsibly to benefit society. 

Specific objectives include investigations on how to:

- Instill trust and reduce bias in the data used to build GAI models.
- Recommend proper and ethical use of AI models whilst protecting the intellectual rights of authors, artists, and other professionals.
- Regulate the proliferation of AI models to ensure no disruptive effects on employment, society, and the environment.
- Educate the consumers, administrators, and governmental bodies on the dangers and limitations of excessive use of AI models.

The different tracks of this initiative are:

• Ensure trustworthy Generative AI Models, which must be based on accurate and unbiased data.
• Impact on the Labor market, especially many white-collar jobs like copywriters, interpreters, and even professionals like investment advisors, editors, lawyers, customer support professionals, creative writers, doctors, etc.
• Issues related to IP, copyright violation, ownership, royalty, etc.
• Impact on the environment with the power-hungry deep learning process to build(train) GAI models.

Michael Linehan (OMG) and Cheranellore Vasudevan (IBM) will present their thoughts as they start their work on this initiative.

Why We Need Responsible Computing Now More Than Ever

More than ever before, organizations are under growing pressure to deal with rapidly changing market conditions, while they face a relentless barrage of digital technologies (example IoT, AI, Digital Twin) that threaten to disrupt their business and market position. Digital Transformation (DX) is the application of such technologies with the goal of disrupting business and operational models and delivering new outcomes and value to the market. The need for transformation is especially acute in organizations that operate major IoT systems in their enterprise solution stack. The inherent IT/OT divide in these systems and the significant differences between IT and OT disciplines (business, technology, operation, organization, culture, etc.) compound the complexities of transformation. This webinar will explore these issues and present a framework that addresses the tactical and strategic aspects of the digital transformation journey.

The journey of Digital Transformation in the IoT era

Connectivity is essential for digitalization and perhaps the most important driver for innovation across many industries. While open standards are widely used throughout the IT world, industries with deterministic requirements such as production, automotive and professional audio/video tend to use proprietary, specialized systems with limited interoperability.
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is the next evolutionary step of IEEE Ethernet, combining the benefits of a flexible IT network with deterministic guarantees. Therefore, TSN is a critical enabler of innovation. 
Join The Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) and Mitsubishi Electric to learn how the IIC provides a platform for collaboration, discussion, prototyping, and testing, focusing on cross-vendor interoperability. Hear from Mitsubishi Electric on putting TSN into practice with their organization and for their customers.

Time Sensitive Networking and the Future of Connectivity

The audience for this webinar includes owners of IoT systems, decision makers, security leaders
in various verticals, business risk managers, system integrators, architects, security assessors,
analysts, policy and regulatory authorities, and other stakeholders concerned about the proper
strategy for the implementation of mature security practices tailored to the needs and
constraints of the specific IoT system.

Those using this SMM should be able to determine and clearly communicate to management the
answers to the following questions:

• Given the organizational requirements and threat landscape, what is my solution’s target
maturity state?
• What is my solution’s current maturity state?
• What are the mechanisms and processes that will take my solution’s maturity from its
current state to its target state?

We believe that “patterns” is a term that you can see nowadays at every corner, in neuroscience, artificial intelligence, data science, architecture, etc. So, it is everything but nothing? Because of this, practitioners have the impression that patterns are of no practical use and are more something for academia. However, this is wrong. Architectural patterns or design patterns can be very helpful when it comes to solution design, especially in complex environments or new domains.     
 
Patterns provide an implicit and replicable view of system development. When experts solve a new problem in a given context, they do not develop an entirely and distinct new solution. Instead, they recall a solution and reuse the essential parts of this solution to solve the new problem.
 
The Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) aims to accelerate and optimize technology innovation by reusing existing patterns. The inherent knowledge of experts, provided in a compact form, may power new solutions across industries. IIC has introduced a Patterns Collection Initiative for knowledge exchange, patterns discussions, and an ecosystem of support that helps find new approaches to driving innovation.
 
Please join us for this Webinar to learn
• What are patterns? 
• What are the benefits of pattern usage for architecture design? 
• How to identify, create and use patterns? 
• What are pattern examples? 

Member experts of the Industry IoT Consortium’s Patterns Task Group will share examples of Patterns developed by IIC members and discuss tools and methodologies for patterns development and application. The team will share information on our Patterns Collection Initiative and how patterns are being used in industry today.

Practical Use of Patterns in Internet of Things Systems

We’ve all heard of the various cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which rely on distributed ledger technologies (DLTs), such as blockchain, to provide decentralization and immutability. Industrial companies use DLTs for everything from shipping-container tracking, vehicle identity and history, to energy trading and farm-to-store tracking. But what about the operational impact of these peer-to-peer distributed ledgers on the service provider network, for example, in terms of network load? Are there certain architectures that work better than others? Conversely, are there any opportunities for service providers to leverage DLT’s to provide additional services or improve the network’s overall performance, for example, managing routing state, user membership information, or others? We analyze here how blockchains affect a service provider network.

Impact of Distributed Ledgers on Provider Networks

Digital transformation is fostering the evolution of the manufacturing industry, entering a new era of smart manufacturing.

Fuel Your Digital Transformation Journey:  IIC Info Day Wrap-Up

Just as no two humans are exactly alike, no two enterprises are exactly alike. When it comes to Digital Transformation, common patterns have emerged that characterize successful digital initiatives across industries. Patterns provide an implicit and replicable view of system development. When experts solve a new problem in a given context, they do not develop an entirely and distinct new solution. Instead, they recall a solution and reuse the essential parts of this solution to solve the new problem.

The Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) aims to accelerate and optimize technology innovation by reusing existing patterns. The inherent knowledge of experts, provided in a compact form, may power new solutions across industries. IIC has introduced a Patterns Collection Initiative for knowledge exchange, patterns discussions, and an ecosystem of support that helps find new approaches to driving innovation.

Please join us for this Webinar to learn:
• What patterns are
• How to identify, create and use patterns

The Importance of Patterns in Digital Transformation

In the industrial realm, trustworthiness is multi-faceted, including safety, security, privacy, reliability, and resilience. Failed or compromised industrial devices can impact the health and safety of workers, cause damage to costly equipment, release pollutants into the environment, and disrupt operations for extended periods. Perhaps you’ve made huge strides and invested in your industrial systems. But do you TRUST them?  I mean, REALLY trust them?

Trustworthy software can withstand environmental disturbances, human error, system faults, and cyberattacks. Flight systems, medical devices, rail systems, supply chain and delivery, machine and plant failures -- it is all on the line. Join Industrial Internet Consortium Thought Leaders for a panel discussion on the impact of trustworthiness and available guidance that can prepare you to avoid and address a problematic situation by enabling continuous trustworthiness monitoring of devices.

Ensuring Trustworthy Industrial Systems: Take the Guesswork Out
