In this episode, Stacey Lismore from Microsoft and Wesley Nelson from HSO unpack how generative AI, Copilots, and digital twins are being deployed in Australian manufacturing right now. We cover: 

- Real-world manufacturing applications of generative AI: predictive maintenance, quality control, and supply chain resilience 

- How Microsoft Copilot is being used to upskill manufacturing workforces and reduce manual reporting 

- The practical first steps manufacturers can take to start their AI journey without disrupting operations 

- What ethical AI leadership looks like in a manufacturing context
