Microsoft launches industrial AI to bring humans and machines closer

Microsoft has been an AI revolution of its own these past few months and they seem to have made some serious headway in the consumer department, but now, they are all set to make a splash in the industrial department thanks to a new partnership with Siemens.

The two companies, who are giants in their respective industries, have announced Siemens Industrial Copilot. The main purpose of this flavour of Copilot is to make the collaboration between humans and machines a lot more cohesive and efficient. Broadly speaking, the copilot will focus on generate, optimize, and debug complex automation code, snd by doing this, the simulation times will be drastically reduced and therefore, produce better results, quickly.

As far as the technology behind the Siemens Industrial Copilot is that it will be using Microsoft Azure’s OpenAI service. This means that it will have access to the same technologies that are part of the incredible ChatGPT application.

One of the things that Microsoft is string on it that consumers who use this Industrial Copilot, will have complete control of their data. This is an important point to note, as consumer oriented Ai tools use train their models. This, along with its other capabilities, makes the Siemens Industrial Copilot package, compelling enough for industries to deploy in their process, and Microsoft hopes that in due time, this Copilot will become an industry standard.

“This has the potential to revolutionize the way companies design, develop, manufacture, and operate. Making human-machine collaboration more widely available allows engineers to accelerate code development, increase innovation and tackle skilled labor shortages.”, said Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens AG.

Siemens will be sharing more details on their copilot application at the upcoming SPS Expo, set to be held in Nuremberg, Germany.
