In 2017 I worked on a project for an oil and gas major. The aim was to use ML to predict the spread of hazardous gas in a refinery. The model pulled in data from mobile and static gas detectors, wind sensors, and temperature sensors. The aim was for the model to predict the gas leak spread and use this information to safely guide out employees. The model, after a fair amount of training, worked well in simulations in the refinery. The challenge was adoption: cultural barriers from the organisation which is rightly HSE focused, lack of belief in the reliability of the tech from the front line workers, and the need to meet safety compliance needs. The tech itself was pretty robust.COO in Finance (non-banking)2 months ago
My first AI project is using the technology to read PDF files. The PDF files are filled in by accountants and then endorsed by the client and a service provider. Each PDF file has 3 hand written dates. This wasnt actually a Gen AI project.
There were circa 3000 documents, and the AI was able to read 93% of the documents.
I learned that:
1. We need to define what a great outcome is. 93% may appear low but the remaining 7% was not readable by humans
2. A range of technology can be deployed, not just Gen AI.
