Purpose: The purpose of this study is to derive major policies that domestic small and medium-sized manufacturing companies should consider to maximize productivity and quality improvement by utilizing manufacturing data and AI, and to find priorities and implications. Methods: In this study, domestic and international issues and literature review by country were conducted to derive major considerations such as manufacturing AI technology, manufacturing AI talent, manufacturing AI data and manufacturing AI ecosystem. Additionally, the questionnaire survey targeting 46 experts of manufacturing data and AI industry were conducted. Finally, the major considerations and detailed factors importance were derived by applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Results: As a result of the study, it was found that 'manufacturing AI technology', 'manufacturing AI talent', 'manufacturing AI data', and 'manufacturing AI ecosystem' exist as key considerations for domestic manufacturing AI. After empirical analysis, the importance of the four key considerations was found to be 'manufacturing AI ecosystem (0.272)', 'manufacturing AI data (0.265)', 'manufacturing AI technology (0.233)', and 'manufacturing AI talent (0.230)'. The importance of the derived four viewpoints is maintained at a similar level. In addition, looking at the detailed variables with the highest importance for each of the four perspectives, 'Best Practice', 'manufacturing data quality management regime, 'manufacturing data collection infrastructure', and 'manufacturing AI manpower level of solution providers' were found. Conclusion: For the sustainable growth of the domestic manufacturing AI ecosystem, it should be possible to develop and promote manufacturing AI policies in a balanced way by considering all four derived viewpoints. This paper is expected to be used as an effective guideline when developing policies for upgrading manufacturing through domestic manufacturing data and AI in the future.

There has been an increasing interest in the construction of smart buildings that can actively monitor and react to their surroundings. The capacity of these intelligent structures to precisely predict and respond to deflection is a crucial feature that guarantees both their structural soundness and efficiency. Conventional techniques for determining deflection often depend on intricate mathematical models and computational simulations, which may be time- and resource-consuming. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have become a potent tool for anticipating and controlling deflection in intelligent structures in response to these difficulties. The term "deflection-aware smart structures" in this sense refers to constructions that have AI algorithms installed that continually monitor and analyses deflection data in order to proactively detect any problems and take appropriate action. These structures anticipate deflection across a range of operating circumstances and environmental factors by using cutting-edge AI approaches including deep learning, reinforcement learning, and neural networks. AI systems are able to predict real-time deflection with high accuracy by using data from embedded sensors and actuators. This capability enables the systems to identify intricate patterns and linkages. Intelligent buildings have the potential to self-correct in order to reduce deflection and maximize performance. In conclusion, the development of deflection-aware smart structures is a major stride forward for structural engineering and has enormous potential to enhance the performance, safety, and dependability of designed systems in a variety of industries.

Smart manufacturing is a process of integrating computer-related technologies in production and by doing so, achieving more efficient production management. The recent development of supercomputers has led to the broad utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques useful in predicting specific patterns. Despite the usefulness of AI and machine learning techniques in smart manufacturing processes, there are many fundamental issues with the direct deployment of these technologies related to data management. In this paper, we focus on solving the outlier detection issue in smart manufacturing applications. More specifically, we apply a state-of-the-art outlier detection technique, called Elliptic Envelope, to detect anomalies in simulation-based collected data.

To satisfy these academic and industrial interests, it is necessary to comprehensively investigate trends in AI-related changes of diverse areas. In this study, we identified and predicted emerging convergences with the help of AI-associated research abstracts collected from the SCOPUS database. The bidirectional encoder representations obtained via the transformers-based topic discovery technique were subsequently deployed to identify emerging topics related to AI. The topics discovered concern edge computing, biomedical algorithms, predictive defect maintenance, medical applications, fake news detection with block chain, explainable AI and COVID-19 applications. Their convergences were further analyzed based on the shortest path between topics to predict emerging convergences. Our findings indicated emerging AI convergences towards healthcare, manufacturing, legal applications, and marketing. These findings are expected to have policy implications for facilitating the convergences in diverse industries. Potentially, this study could contribute to the exploitation and adoption of AI-enabled convergences from a practical perspective.
