The project will facilitate inspection, monitoring, optimization and maintenance of industrial equipment and machinery. However, implementing a multimodal framework in the industry faces a challenge: the absence of reliable AI methods that generate predictions while offering prescriptive decisions. While the use of gAI looks promising for this task, there are significant gaps in current explainable AI (XAI) methods, which limit their applicability to prescriptive analytics. Trust_Gen_Z will address these challenges and support prescriptive analysis to advance digitization in the automotive and telecom industries. The strong consortium, which consists of a mix of industry (Ericsson and Volvo Construction Equipment), SME (MainlyAI) and academia (Mälardalen University), ensures research excellence in the project and contributes to Sweden's industrial development.
