How Toyota is Building a Unified GenAI Framework for Manufacturing and Enterprise Knowledge
What happens when a massive, multi-plant manufacturer commits to making generative AI not just an experiment, but a core part of operations? In this live panel from MLOps World | GenAI Summit 2024, four leaders from Toyota’s Enterprise AI team share their work in deploying GenAI safely, at scale, and across highly diverse use cases.
From production-line recovery systems to a custom knowledge transfer platform for thousands of employees, the team has built a modular GenAI framework to accelerate experimentation and ensure security and ROI.
This talk was recorded during MLOps Word | GenAI Summit 2024 which took place at the Austin Renaissance Hotel.
