AI at the Edge: Microsoft AI in the Outback
Join Daniel Brown live from the remote Opal fields of Coober Pedy, Australia, where Microsoft AI meets the Outback! This session will showcase how Azure AI - including Custom Vision, GPT models, and edge solutions - is transforming fieldwork in one of the world’s most extreme environments.
AI doesn't just belong in labs and data centres - it thrives where decisions are made. In this session, we'll take you into the heart of the Australian Outback, demonstrating how Microsoft AI-powered vision models operate in real-time, even in harsh conditions.
What’s New in This Session?
🔹 Live AI Demo in the Opal Fields – Watch as OpalAI, trained with Azure Custom Vision, identifies opal in real-time.
🔹 GPT Enhancements - Learn how Azure OpenAI models are advancing geological insights and interpreting data from the field.
🔹 AI at the Edge - Discover how AI models run efficiently in low-connectivity environments, optimizing detection and operations in the real world.
🔹 Challenges & Breakthroughs - Explore how AI adapts to dust, lighting, extreme temperatures, and field constraints, overcoming challenges in the harshest conditions.
Why Attend?
See how Azure AI bridges the gap between cutting-edge cloud technology and real-world problem-solving. Watch AI in action - no simulations, no lab tests - just live, real-time AI working in the Australian Outback.
This session will highlight how Microsoft AI empowers exploration and fieldwork, optimizing processes and driving efficiency, even in the toughest environments.
