AICC White Paper (CONT’D FROM PAGE 26)
Deep Learning: Autonomous Intelligence Quite a few of the more exciting and flashy AI tools we have seen this past year are the result of deep learning models. You may have heard of generative AI (creating im- ages, video, and sound that are new and unique based on basic direction. We saw at AICC Louisville how chat- based tools and other commercially available ones can make a huge difference in packaging design both in creativity and time to market. Broadly one could say that these tools will transform the front office first before it hits the production floor and machinery. The biggest players today are OpenAI (Micro- soft backed) and DeepMind (Google backed). Where we can start to see the value in box plants is in sales, marketing, design, and administrative tasks. We are going to have access to AI tools that take good meet- ing minutes and distribute them with insights. Or combine several spreadsheets, analyze, and summarize the data in minutes without being an Excel wiz. The key is autonomous intelligence technology acts independently of human in- put, taking over manual and cognitive tasks that require fast adaptation to new data. Think of this as automation for people’s tasks. It will change our workforce but also give us options to better align with our goals. Our sales teams can engage more freely with customers without laboring over documentation. Our production teams can spend more energy tackling long-term and larger challenges and efficiency without worrying about how to better run the 20 orders in the queue. By and large the big impact here is in eliminating small tasks that are time and labor-intensive. This was the first in a series of white papers released by AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, that will

educate members on AI, AICC formed the Artificial Intel- ligence Sub-Committee that is comprised of the following members: Jeff Putt, DeLine Box & Display; Greg Tucker, Bay-Cities; Guy Ockerlund, OxBox; and Gopakumar. The AI Primer from AICC is a series of “whitepapers” on artificial intelligence, that have been (and will be) written by AICC members from the AI sub-committee, other AICC members, and subject matter experts.
