Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the world, and soon it will also revolutionize the work of product developers. The Forum for Intelligent Machines FIMA, in collaboration with the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence FCAI, is co-hosting this seminar to introduce novel tools and methodologies for incorporating AI into research and development processes. We will explore the opportunities that these tools could provide to enhance the efficiency of product development, along with the potential threats that must be considered when adopting these innovative methods.
