Could the increasing interest in language models, like ChatGPT, be diverting resources away from companies to adopt advanced analytics practices that truly support smart decisions? Pedro Amorim, INESC TEC researcher, and João Alves (from INESC TEC LTPLabs spin-off) believe so. In a paper published in MIT Sloan Management Review, they warn about the quality and unpredictability of data generated solely from generative language models - despite advocating for more investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that incorporates these models with advanced analysis (with concrete reasons provided).

Online shopping and just-in-time delivery – or almost. We became familiarised with this scenario over the past few years, mainly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The environmental impact of new retail strategies is not yet fully known, particularly regarding new business models and consumption habits, associated with e-commerce; this was the starting point of the e-LOG project, led by INESC TEC, which has now come to an end.

Over the next three years, a group of European researchers, including a team from INESC TEC, will work on the development of management models to support the manufacturing industry – namely small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); the goal is to identify potential disruptions in current and future supply chains. This work will take place within the European RISE-SME project, focusing on four industrial ecosystems: Agro-food, Digital, Mobility and Transportation, and Textile.

The first pilot-projects to demonstrate 5G solutions aimed at the manufacturing industry have already started at INESC TEC Industry and Innovation Laboratory (iiLab). Companies will be able to test their solutions and develop products and services that resort to the new generation network. The pilots are part of the Test Bed 5G project, led by NOS – in partnership with Sonae MC and Wells, and with INESC TEC participation.
