How Generative AI and the Intelligent Industrial Internet of Things Complement Each other

Abstract

Generative modeling is an artificial intelligence (AI) technique to generate synthetic artifacts from analyzing training examples and from learning their patterns and distribution. Generative AI (GenAI) uses generative modeling and advances in Deep Learning to produce diverse content at scale by utilizing existing data. Whereas traditionally GenAI is mostly using media contents, such as text, graphics, audio, and video, it can additionally be used also for data from the (Industrial) Internet of Things. This article provides a systematic overview on the manifold different practical opportunities and challenges GenAI brings for the IIoT. It also presents selected examples from the author’s research with his teams. In doing so, it covers the relevance of GenAI for the complete lifecycle of IIoT, from design and development, over testing to deployment. This paper summarizes a keynote presentation from the 13th International Conference on Green and Human Information Technology (ICGHIT) in January 2025 held in Nha Trang, Vietnam.

2. Gene a i e AI Technologies
GenAI is de ined, and commonly dis inguished om

a gene a o and a disc imina o (c . Fig. 1). Thus, i
gene a es syn he ic a i ac s by analyzing aining ex-
