[WiE webinar] Can we do away completely with oil for road transport in the next few years?

Friday 5 April 2024 at 5:30 PM IST, 2:00 PM CET By Bhuvaneswari Gurumoorthy (Mahindra University, Hyderabad, India) Register now using the link below: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8241394241534973788 Abstract: Due to the effects of global warming and climate change apparent in the last few decades, we are forced to adopt renewable based electricity generation, energy conservation measures and to promote battery driven electric vehicles (EVs). After the development of Tesla Cars that use Li-ion battery pack, there has been renewed interest in EVs.  In the last decade, many manufacturers of EVs have emerged all over the world and many trials are on for making driverless cars a reality. The major bottlenecks for adopting EVs are (i) the range of the vehicle, (ii) battery technology and safety, (iii) developing and installing battery charging infrastructure, (iv) cost-effectiveness and (v) availability of materials for developing motors for the power train. This talk will dwell on each of these aspects by exploring the latest technological developments and strive to answer the question posed in the title. Presenter’s bio: Prof. Bhuvaneswari Gurumoorthy has been in academia since her graduating with a PhD in 1992. She had a brief stint in the electric utility company ComEd in Chicago ...

The Responsible Practice of Generative Artificial Intelligence for Industrial Systems and Technologies

Monday 25 March 2024 at 8:00 PM AEDT, 10:00 AM CET By Daswin De Silva (La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia) Register now using the link below: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5335024369129066072 Abstract: Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we live and work through numerous practical applications of intelligence, insights and decision-making. These generative intelligence capabilities have expanded into industrial applications and systems, leading to many opportunities for innovation in research, development, practice, as well as training and education. For instance, in energy systems, Generative AI can be used to inform decisions on renewables integration, energy conservation measures, energy optimization and predictive maintenance, while across the board in robotics, it is contributing to trajectory planning, state estimation, adaptive vision and human interaction. In parallel to these rapid technical innovations, the risks of AI are also growing. AI that is poorly designed, developed and evaluated without consideration of the broader socio-technical landscape of operation, can result in system failures, service disruptions, security violations and even human casualties. Some experts have also escalated this to a risk of extinction from AI that should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. This webinar will first introduce Generative AI, ...
