What is artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence or AI is the simulation of human or animal intelligence in machines. There are different types of artificial intelligence however the most common application is around problem-solving through reacting to something, or using memory to learn and improve responses.

What is machine learning?

Machine learning is when a machine learns from past data without explicit programming to identify patterns or perform specific tasks.

The Australian Institute for Machine Learning

The Australian Institute for Machine Learning is based in Adelaide, and is Australia's first institute dedicated to research in the field. 

It conducts research in machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision and deep learning and has over 200 researchers and students.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence have the potential to deliver significant benefits to society, the economy and the environment and is likely to transform the global economy in the near future.

Advanced manufacturing and industry 4.0

Advanced manufacturing and industry 4.0

Advances in digital and engineering technology drives improvements to things like manufacturing, distribution and much more. Industry 4.0 is really about taking these advances and using them to develop new ways of manufacturing, and new products and services that meet the needs of the future.

Examples of Industry 4.0 technologies include advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, sophisticated sensors, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, data capture and analytics, digital fabrication, and more.

It is critical to have a highly skilled workforce to support this, which is offered through cutting-edge programs at South Australian institutions.

Factory of the Future

Line Zero Factory of the Future – is a facility where advanced manufacturing technologies can are tested. it is an initiative that was driven by Flinders University. It also allows collaboration between research and industry to discover ways that technologies can be applied to business. Over 200 people are involved in Line Zero from across business and research.
