AI in industrial process control: Take our fears & benefits quiz
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a flashpoint just as prominent researchers and even some of the field's own pioneers have raised alarms about deploying increasing autonomous AI without adequate safeguards. Those warnings land differently in a chemical plant or wastewater facility than they do in a chatbot, since a bad AI recommendation there can mean a real-world safety or environmental incident, not just a wrong answer. This quiz is intended to unpack where those broader fears apply to processing industries like oil and gas, wastewater, chemical manufacturing and food and beverage — and where AI's benefits, like predictive maintenance, can be captured safely.
