Will Digital Transformation make experts obsolete?

Günter Spreitzhofer - Application & Consulting - IBA AG

Digital transformation in the steel industry is an ongoing process. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are playing an increasingly important role in this transformation. One of the main obstacles is the lack of high-quality data, which is essential for accurately training these models. To overcome these challenges and fully leverage the power of AI and ML, it is necessary to establish a single data-source basis to retrieve and derive accurate information. This can be achieved through the implementation of measurement systems that adhere to certain architecture and design principles. But digital transformation is not just a technical matter, it needs a paradigm shift toward a digital mindset. Digitalization begins first and foremost in the minds of the people who have to drive and live the transformation. So it needs the right people and, that's for sure, excellent domain experts will be needed more than ever.
