Showcasing HCPbO at the IGF UN 2024 in Riyadh

04/01/2025

The HCPbO (Human Centric Preference based Optimization) project had the honor of being represented at the IGF UN 2024 in Riyadh, a global forum dedicated to shaping policies for the digital age. While discussing world policies is crucial for navigating our digital future, bringing real-world projects like HCPbO into these conversations added a practical and impactful dimension to the dialogue.

Bridging Policy and Innovation

During the event, the HCPbO project served as a tangible example of how AI can be implemented to address industrial challenges. By showcasing the innovative ways in which preference-based optimization algorithms leverage the knowledge of expert operators, the project sparked significant interest among stakeholders from various sectors.

About the HCPbO Project

The HCPbO project, supported by EIT Manufacturing, is dedicated to optimizing industrial processes in a human-centric way. Its groundbreaking approach enables expert operators to intuitively transfer their knowledge to machines without the need for programming.

  • The system supports optimization by providing data-driven suggestions based on experiments conducted by experts.
  • Enhanced algorithms, currently under development, will integrate qualitative and quantitative capabilities to further improve efficiency and adaptability.

This innovative methodology addresses critical challenges in industrial process optimization while fostering collaboration between humans and AI, ensuring technology serves as an enabler rather than a replacement.

A Global Stage for Innovation

Presenting the HCPbO project at the IGF UN 2024 highlighted its potential to contribute to global digital strategies and industrial advancements. The discussions reinforced the importance of integrating practical AI solutions into policy frameworks, ensuring that innovation remains aligned with human-centric values and principles.

We are proud to see the HCPbO project gaining recognition and fostering valuable connections at such prestigious global platforms.
