Description
AI and machine learning tools have the potential to significantly improve operational efficiency, but there are important challenges standing in the way of their deployment and widespread adoption. Rather than focusing on new AI algorithms or applications, this discussion will examine what SLAC’s operators have learned through early experience with these technologies: where AI can provide meaningful value, where it falls short of operational needs, and what capabilities are required for operators to develop confidence in AI-assisted workflows. The goal is to offer an operations-centered perspective on how AI tools should be designed, integrated, and deployed to become practical, trusted components of future accelerator facilities.
