The pressure to adopt AI in industrial operations is mounting. Plant teams are tasked with implementing AI solutions to solve inherent complexity challenges but there’s a critical gap: understanding what machine learning actually is, how it works, and how it differs from the AI hype dominating headlines.

This technical session cuts through the confusion. Led by Dr Jessica Rigley and Dr Noah Miller from Carbon Re, this is a no-nonsense introduction to the machine learning fundamentals that matter for cement production – not chatbots or business automation, but the predictive models already running autonomously in plants today.

If you’ve been told to “do something with AI” but feel unable to satisfy that demand, this session helps you understand the technical building blocks.
