Right brain AI, an AI that mimics the creative abilities of the right side of the human brain, is currently experiencing a rapid rise. At the same time, this opens the door for the use of the more analytical "left brain AI". This is shown in a recent study by Pegasystems.

Forterro, a software provider for medium-sized industrial companies, is expanding its portfolio to include AI capabilities with the acquisition of Prodaso. Prodaso is a start-up that specializes in the interface between IoT and AI applications for manufacturing processes.

The e-paper for the special issue
In the age of Industry 4.0, nobody talks about 'stupid sensors' anymore. Rather, it is undisputed that the measured values collected by modern sensors are real treasures. Cleverly evaluated, they help with analysis and are indispensable for machine maintenance.
Intelligent measured value monitoring
The joint project NiMo 4.0 is developing software systems that combine AI processes with traditional methods in order to predict the spatial distribution of nitrate in groundwater more precisely. Disy presents the results at the networking meeting of the BMUV funding initiative.

In recent years, the automation industry has not been guided by theoretical approaches and predetermined structures, but has reacted to unexpected events with the result in mind. The authors of this issue call for more pragmatism.

The EU has had little success in developing an artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem and has failed to increase AI investment at the same rate as the world's leading players, a recent report by the European Court of Auditors reveals.
Technical University of Munich
The industrial robots from the Munich-based start-up setws use AI algorithms to learn how to handle materials with unstable shapes. Laundries are already using the technology to automatically transfer towels to folding machines, for example.
"ChatGPT in the industry" - Part 4
How does generative AI fit in with an agile way of working? This part of the article series deals explicitly with the interaction of AI and agile working methods in product development.

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
In the EDAI project, researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are combining the design of AI algorithms and AI chips. EDAI is based on open source software to facilitate access to AI-based solutions, particularly for small and medium-sized companies.
