Artificial General Intelligence and Circular Manufacturing in Industry 5.0: Transforming Sustainable Industrial Practices

Organizations have a pressing need for sustainable industrialization that minimizes waste, reduces environmental impacts, and promotes resource efficiency, all while embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technological advancements. Covering theoretical and practical dimensions, the book addresses issues that industries encounter when AI is being implemented within their assembly lines from ethical considerations to labor transformation struggles as well as technical limitations and challenges related with data management. The chapters discuss ideas related to automation, predictive maintenance and reducing wastage; and how we can overcome the issues of these through solutions. Topics range from the intersection of AGI with sustainable innovation and how to engineer smart production systems, to a shift towards regenerative design principles. The main theme of the book is to narrow down this gap between such advanced technologies and real-time applications based on Circular Economy. The publication comes at an important time when there is a pressing global imperative to reduce environmental impact without compromising on economic competitiveness. The research presented here is relevant for industry professionals, policymakers, and academic researchers, as it explains the perspectives on the convergence of AGI and circular manufacturing, providing readers with the tools they need to drive forward Industry 5.0 innovations and lead the shift toward a more sustainable future.
