• Abstract:

  •  Many people assume AI simply turns data into decisions.

  • In reality, the process is far more demanding - and far more important: only trustworthy data, combined with well-trained AI models and strong governance, can generate meaningful insights.

  • Even then, critical decisions should remain guided by human judgment.

  • This session gives quality professionals a clear, practical pathway from AI concept to operational governance - grounded in tools they already know.

  • You will walk away with:

    • A Five-Layer AI Architecture you can apply to industrial and business environments immediately

    • A DOE-based validation methodology for evaluating machine learning systems with statistical confidence

    • An ISO 42001 governance framework mapped to real AI development and risk management challenges

    • Real-world manufacturing examples bridging technical validation with management systems

  • Who should attend: Quality engineers, operations leaders, and technology managers navigating AI adoption in manufacturing or business environments.
