Acknowledgments
The AI Accelerator was inspired by presentations shared by Simon Floyd of Microsoft at CAMPS events and by the practical manufacturing AI demonstrations of Craig Hanela, CEO of The Brivik Group.
Their insights and conversations helped shape the concepts, framework, and real-world applications presented throughout the CAMPS Manufacturing AI Accelerator.
