The expanding use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies calls for a revision of previously established approaches to the organization of management and production processes in industry. This shift lays the foundation for the development of Industry 5.0, which is also seen as a key condition for achieving the Russian Federation’s national goals of technological leadership. From the stage of defining applied research topics aimed at ensuring the production of competitive industrial products to the stage of mass production using robotic systems, the advantages of AI technologies are becoming increasingly evident. These include the acceleration of the practical implementation of research results within a unified management chain: "research — design — engineering — prototype production — testing/certification — small-scale production."

The emerging prospects for improving industrial production efficiency through the use of AI necessitate addressing a range of challenges and finding answers to new questions, such as: the use of supercomputing and the adequacy of computational capacity to meet industrial demands; the availability and verification of data reliability; tools for evaluating the outcomes of AI implementation; and ensuring the safety of industrial products developed with AI technologies at all stages of the life cycle, from R&D through to serial production.

The session "The Application of AI Technologies and Systems in the Formation of Industry 5.0" will focus on discussing potential directions for AI application in industry, the advantages and limitations of current approaches, relevant successful use cases, and regulatory issues.
