To mark its 30th anniversary, eco – Association of the Internet Industry is presenting a ground-breaking innovation: its in-house AI solution PACES – an intelligent system that redefines the digital future.
eco’s PACES, the Panacea Advanced Cognitive Enterprise Solution, is based on a multimodal hypermodel architecture, combines reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) with self-optimising federated learning and integrates eco-specific ontologies for maximum industry relevance. The AI was trained using one of the largest European data sets on the Internet industry, supplemented by synthetically augmented scenarios from real-world laboratories.
‘With PACES, we are revolutionising the way people interact with technology,’ explains Daneel Olivaw, Senior Design Engineer Human-Machine Communications at eco. ‘The AI recognises semantic intentions in real time and transforms them directly into executed actions via a generative thought-to-task interface. This means no more manual input – PACES thinks along, ahead and sometimes even further.’ According to eco, the possible applications are almost limitless: PACES analyses unstructured data streams in a context-sensitive manner, automatically generates ESG-compliant reports, curates personalised innovation strategies via prompt engineering – and, if desired, can also take over the semi-annual employee appraisal as a holographically animated avatar in 3D zoom.
But PACES can do more: with the help of a specially developed NeuroAdaptive Wellbeing module, the AI recognises when users need energy – and proactively prepares an individually tailored breakfast via a smart kitchen interface. In its free time, PACES can also read books on request and should be able to go on holiday instead of its users in the next stage of development. An optional add-on that efficiently automates interpersonal interactions is also planned for premium users.
However, critics point out that eco’s ambitious project is too good to be true. In fact, PACES is indeed a techno-magical panacea and remains an April Fool’s joke for the time being – but if something happens, you’ll be the first to know!
