The MIT Industrial Liaison Program presents "2025 MIT Bangkok Symposium - Unleashing AI: Transforming Industries, Empowering Futures," a symposium focused on the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across various industries. As AI technologies rapidly evolve, businesses are faced with unprecedented opportunities to enhance productivity, innovate processes, and redefine operational models. Attendees will gain insights from leading MIT researchers and industry experts on how AI can drive efficiency, accelerate decision-making, and enable sustainable growth. automation, advanced analytics, and machine learning while addressing challenges such as ethical AI use, workforce transformation, and data governance. By bringing together academia and business leaders, this symposium will provide a forward-looking perspective on how AI can empower businesses to navigate future disruptions, foster innovation, and create a more resilient and adaptable industrial landscape.
Biotechnology is poised to enable entirely new manufacturing in the 21st century. The rapid advances in synthetic biology and genome-scale biology are powering new capabilities to make a range of products from basic chemicals to uniquely biologically-enabled products like tissues. Combining these 'front-end' technologies with emerging 'back-end' elements like continuous and integrated operations, automation, and AI/ML can enable new models for accessible biomanufacturing capacity. Growing new capabilities for biomanufacturing could transform the industrial base to enable circular bioeconomies that are both sustainable and prosperous.
