Agenda Day 2

10:00 AM LEVERAGE GROUNDBREAKING CAPABILITIES OF GENERATIVE AI TO GAIN EFFICIENCIES IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PANEL DISCUSSION

The automotive industry typically spends upwards of $1 billion over several years on new product development, with no guarantee that the gamble will pay off.

One of the world’s biggest vehicle manufacturing companies found a way to convert eighteen components into just five components through a new way of manufacturing using generative AI. With never-before-seen abilities in data synthesis pattern detection and outcome prediction, generative AI models have the potential to reduce the time required for platform/architecture development and vehicle manufacture by three to six months at a minimum.

  • Join this panel discussion as attendees learn how to speed up product development, gain efficiencies in product development and reduce the time it takes to get things done.
