What’s Now | Augmented Engineering Accelerator Forum

Date: 5 November 2024

Time: 12pm – 5pm

Location: 40 Holborn Viaduct, London EC1N 2PB

In Engineering, Generative AI by itself is not enough.

That’s why – at this ‘What’s Now: Augmented Engineering Accelerator Forum’ – Capgemini Engineering and Capgemini’s Applied Innovation Exchange (AIE) are bringing together a range of cross sector clients and partners to help you safely unlock and leverage the new discipline of Augmented Engineering – the combination of GenAI with other types of scientific and engineering models to combine the rigorous precision of engineering with the generative power of AI, ensuring solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and accuracy – at speed and scale. AI with other types of scientific and engineering models to combine the rigorous precision of engineering with the generative power of AI, ensuring solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and accuracy – at speed and scale.  

The discipline of Engineering is evolving. You’re facing a challenge that must be navigated at scale, at pace, and in a highly changeable landscape where doing nothing is not an option. As AI enters a new era of industrialisation, engineering leaders are faced with a generational challenge. Generative AI is changing the engineering landscape; engineers and engineering organisations that don’t use AI will be left behind or replaced by those that do. Don’t get left behind, register below.

As a business and technology transformation partner, we believe in elevating possibilities through Augmented Engineering.

This forum brings together industry leaders and experts – from Capgemini Group, our partner ecosystem, and clients – to exchange insights, best practices, and real-world examples, to help you drive the adoption of GenAI in highly demanding engineering organisations. Register now to learn more about Capgemini Engineering’s development of this new discipline, Augmented Engineering, and how you can capitalise on it to create competitive advantage at speed. By design, this event is efficient, informative, and impactful. In just one afternoon you’ll:

  • discover how to combine Generative AI with other scientific and engineering models (Hybrid-AI: core to Augmented Engineering) to deliver AI-driven outcomes with the precision, quality and correctness required in engineering and science, while at speed to deliver competitive advantage.
  • access actionable advice to address challenges like scalability, integration, and ethical considerations, specific to Engineering.
  • uncover a broad range of examples across the Engineering lifecycle, including scientific discovery, R&D, software development, manufacturing, customer support, and document management.
  • get ‘hands-on’ with demonstrations such as: Agendum 3, the GenAI Capsule Collection, Agentic AI in Manufacturing, WindSight IQ™ and more. Be inspired by the art-of-the-possible.
  • network with other senior leaders in Engineering across industrial industries.  
  • walk away with actionable executive takeaways to help you manage a route through this complex and fast-moving landscape.

Agenda

12:00 Arrival – tea, coffee and nibbles 
12:30 Welcome by Graham Upton, Head of Technology & Innovation Capgemini Engineering  and Johan Lonn, Chief of Staff Capgemini  Applied Innovation Exchange
12:40 GenAI is not Enough: Why we need Augmented Engineering
Capgemini Engineering’s CTO for AI will set out how Capgemini is evolving its engineering practices to embrace Generative AI as it moves from the niche to the mainstream.  He will set out the principles behind the philosophy, how we see engineering evolving, and the possibilities that the new discipline is creating.		Andy Vickers, CTO Generative and VP Capgemini Engineering 
13:00 Hybrid AI Deep Dive: Technology Trends that are Powering Augmented Engineering
In order to augment engineering processes, different technologies need to be combined to ensure the right tool for each job, and the most appropriate management of different types of failure mode. We will set out an implementation architecture and illustrate how this hybrid AI approach can augment engineering across the value chain.		Dr Mark Roberts, CTO Applied Sciences and Deputy Director of Capgemini AI Lab,
Capgemini Engineering

NATS
13:45 Break 
14:00 Towards efficient foundation models
Hear from Liquid AI’s Senior ML Scientist, Anastasia about the work they are currently delivering and how creating efficient foundation models is core to Augmented Engineering.		Anastasia Borovykh, Senior ML Scientist
Liquid AI
14:25 Intelligent Operations
Capgemini’s Intelligent Operations accelerator is a cloud-native, scalable and flexible solution that leverages GenAI to empower operational teams for taking data-driven decisions confidently. The accelerator has been designed for key operational personas with a solid understanding of their current and future needs.		Johan Lonn, Chief of Staff Capgemini Applied Innovation Exchange
14:35 Industry insights from LandingAI
Hear from LandingAI’s General Manager, Teon about the work they are currently delivering and the impact the envisage the  Augmented Engineering impacting the future.		Teon Rosandic, General Manager LandingAI
15:00 Bringing to life Augmented Engineering – Demos
WindSight IQ™
For this year’s America’s Cup sailing event, Capgemini developed WindSight IQ™, a revolutionary LiDAR-based technology that for the first time in human history makes the wind visible at high resolution in real time. Come to this demo to hear about the WindSight IQ™ story and how this same technology is now set to revolutionise many other industries.		Dr Mark Roberts, CTO Applied Sciences and Deputy Director of Capgemini AI Lab,
Capgemini Engineering
Knowledge Management
Smart document handling with Augmented Document Assistant.  Combining large language models with knowledge graphs to improve the quality, reliability and stability of documentation management and querying.		Manuala Detomaso, Data Science Manager
Capgemini Engineering
Synthetic Biology
This demo will explore the topic of metabolic engineering and how we can use computational methods, including generative AI, to figure out efficient pathways for manipulating biological processes to optimise end products and yields.		Navot Arad, Machine Learning Engineering
Capgemini Engineering
Scientific Assistant
This demo will showcase an idea at the core of Augmented Engineering, a Hybrid AI system that links powerful but untrustworthy LLMs with a planning and reasoning engine to produce outputs that exploit the best of both worlds – a rich and creative interface to a rational and trustable intelligence behind.		Kate Evans, Technical Consultant Hybrid Intelligence
Capgemini Engineering
