AI in forestry: Bringing theory to reality at OptiSaw
Oct. 2, 2018 - The current generation of AI is a long way from science fiction. “We are not at HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Skynet from The Terminator, yet this is what we continue to imagine is not only possible but also available in our industry. This is simply not the case,” says Rory Armes, founder of Eight Solutions.

What is available right now, he says, is cheap AI. “This is actually a good thing, something that will bring tremendous value quickly to the forest industry. Cheap AI means we can install working systems quickly, we can see value fast, and we can afford it.”
Dive into this topic and much more at OptiSaw – the one-day education forum for those driving the future of sawmilling. Hosted by CFI magazine, OptiSaw is returning to Eastern Canada to hold an information-packed event in Montreal on Nov. 28.
