In today's episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast we're diving deep into the world of Generative AI with two experts who've got their finger on the pulse of this transformative tech. I'm talking about Jan Burian and Lorenzo Veronesi from IDC!

Are you curious about how Generative AI is shaping the industrial sector? Jan kicks us off with an in-depth look at what Generative AI is, how it's evolved, and what makes it so compelling. Forget the buzzwords; we're talking real-world applications here! Jan’s experience in AI research offers insights that are not just academic but truly actionable for businesses. Spoiler: Generative AI is more than just a shiny new toy.

But hey, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. As Lorenzo points out, the tech may seem new to us, but it has been years in the making. No need to expect a 'revolution every two months'. It’s more about understanding how stable the tech is right now and how we can best leverage it for optimal results. Think of it as the internet – revolutionary at first, but then evolving at a more gradual pace.

What’s on the horizon for businesses looking to jump in? Both Jan and Lorenzo offer sage advice on scaling up these technologies and integrating them into existing systems. It's not just about pilots; it's about going industrial scale. And let’s get one thing straight—this isn't about replacing humans. It's about enhancing what we do, freeing us up to focus on the stuff that really matters.

Before you tune in, let me tease you with this: the episode wraps up with a look at the future, where Generative AI could be the stepping stone to fully autonomous production plants. Yep, it’s that transformative!
