Join the WASABI Webinar: AI for Human Interaction in Manufacturing 

How can manufacturers design and deploy conversational AI assistants and human–AI collaboration solutions in real production environments—while keeping them safe, compliant, and trustworthy?

This is exactly what the upcoming WASABI webinar on January 27, 13:30–15:30 CET will explore.

The session is designed for European SMEs and mid-cap manufacturers interested in practical, real-world applications of AI in industry. 

During the webinar, we will present the WASABI approach to conversational AI, validated through more than 20 industrial experiments covering use cases such as waste management, workforce management, and quality assurance.

Attendees will gain insights into different technology options, from custom NLP and dialog management systems to pre-trained large language models and hybrid solutions, with a focus on open-source components and key practical considerations like explainability and traceability. 

Practical Benefits for Manufacturers 

The webinar is a unique opportunity for manufacturers to see how AI can be integrated directly into production workflows, improving efficiency, supporting decision-making, and enhancing collaboration between human operators and intelligent systems.

Participants will also be able to learn from real industrial experiments, understand potential challenges, and explore strategies for adopting AI responsibly in their own organizations. 

A dedicated segment will address the trustworthiness of AI in manufacturing, exploring strategies to reduce risks, protect data and company reputation, and implement effective governance practices.

We will also introduce assessment tools such as ALTAI, which help evaluate human oversight, robustness, privacy, transparency, fairness, and accountability. 

Finally, the webinar will provide an overview of the EU AI Act and its implications for conversational AI in SMEs, including compliance challenges, interactions with GDPR, and upcoming milestones for high-risk AI systems.
