“Companies that do not incorporate AI will lose competitiveness”

ASTURIAN INDUSTRIAL SMEs FILLED THE CAPACITY OF THE PRACTICAL AI COURSE ORGANIZED BY OUR PARTNER CLUSTER TIC ASTURIAS, AS PART OF THE ACTIVITIES PROMOTED BY AsDIH

«We are at the dawn of the arrival of artificial intelligence in the industrial world, and it is difficult to predict what will happen.» The CEO of Cluster TIC Asturias, Enrique Jáimez, takes stock of the practical AI course organized by his cluster as part of the activities promoted by AsDIH and points out that companies that do not incorporate AI will suffer «a significant loss of competitiveness».

Asturian companies are so aware of this situation that they filled the three training sessions to capacity, in which Roberto Fernández, founder of Los de la IA, explained that «every new technology that emerges causes changes in the industry».

«NOW ALL CUSTOMERS WANT AI»

These changes are causing concern among professionals, but also excitement, because there are businesses where this technology is significantly streamlining processes. «The sectors that are incorporating it most quickly are those that handle information in digital format,» says Fernández.

José Luis Plaza Rey, head of Business Development at Táctica TIC, is well aware of this and says that «now all customers want you to put artificial intelligence in everything you design». This enthusiasm is understandable, but he advocates caution «because there are things that need AI and others that don’t.»

«THIS IS NOT A FAD, IT IS A REALITY»

However, if one thing is clear, it is that «this is not a fad; it is a reality and a change in the organizational model,» as Ana Isabel Menéndez, Director of Sustainability and Innovation at Pavitek, argues.

Artificial intelligence is here to stay, and both Cluster TIC Asturias and AsDIH want companies to have the knowledge to incorporate it so they can compete globally.
