This goal is to be achieved by capitalization on previously achieved results, training, testing via pilots, and applying novel solutions of AI in i4.0 as mentioned by the EUSDR AI White Paper. The project also aims at supporting developing AI-driven applications to overcome international value chain bottlenecks. Project partners will propose specific AI solutions to alleviate already identified challenges alongside three vertical value chains sectors like manufacturing, agro-food, health-care industry, while accounting for the economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
