Back in sunny Chicago this week, just 6 weeks after my last trip here.
Major changes can take place in AI in that short time span.
Today I gave a Keynote on AI at Labelexpo Americas, the US event for the flagship Labelexpo series.
I spent time covering the impact of AI on the label market. For example, automation and robotization, plus AI-powered printing, packaging & label design. I referred to developments from Sonoco and EyeC - Print Inspection & Quality Control Systems, as well as companies such as Enfocus, Esko, X-Rite and Pantone who are collaborating on AI assisted decision making tools for upstream packaging product specs. And AMP Robotics, who are changing the way we recycle containers, paper, plastic, and other consumer packaging materials.
I also shared some of the latest regulatory updates. For example, the AI Treaty which now allows non-EU member states to sign. The treaty, the first international legally binding text which was adopted last May, sets out a legal framework that covers the entire lifecycle of AI systems and addresses the risks they may pose while promoting responsible innovation. It’s so important for the international community to collaborate in this way.
I know the labels, printing and packaging sector well. I spoke in May this year in Athens for FINAT – the international association for the European label industry. And back in 2023 I worked in Switzerland with Gallus Group, who hosted an industry Experience Day. In the Q&A today, we discussed how to collaborate as an industry around AI Playbooks, informing the regulators etc.
Well done for hosting a super event Tasha Ventimiglia, Chelsea McDougall Jade Grace and team, and thanks for your support!
