Experts discuss Artificial Intelligence at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Symposium

HUNTSVILLE, Ala (WHNT) — Artificial intelligence, more commonly known as AI is one of our nation's hottest topics.
That's no different here in North Alabama as the U.S. Space and Rocket Center hosted its second AI Symposium.

'We all have a role to play in figuring out where we want AI to go and what we're comfortable with, and, crucially, what we're not comfortable with,' Andrew Miller said.
He is a clinical lecturer of law from Yale Law School. Miller said we will soon see AI in the courtroom.
'So whether it's the judge side or the actual lawyer side, you're going to see AI playing a role throughout the legal system, and it's important that we decide again where we like that, where we don't, and how to regulate it,' he said.

When it comes to the fear of artificial intelligence replacing jobs, he wants people to think about what they can bring to the workforce as humans.
'I would encourage people who are worried about this not to change their minds, but to use this as an opportunity to, to think about the role they play, not just in their companies, but in their communities and where they, as humans really add value,' he said.
Kristianna Berger is a student at the Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering. She was one of many who asked great questions.
'Learning how it's used in law and also how does that affect the workforce?' she asked. 'How is it going to, you know, we say replace our jobs…. is that really true and how is it going to affect our futures?'
While our technology has come miles, even Miller said there is still a long way to go before we perfect Artificial Intelligence and all the questions it brings.
'The legal questions of how the responsibility works are really complicated and deserve serious, sustained attention,' Miller said. 'I think it'll take a little while before we figured out what we think the right answer is.'
The symposium will continue through Thursday and walk-in registration is available if anyone would like to attend.

【Focus on AI】 Deepen the Integrated Application of Artificial Intelligence and Establish a Company-Level Knowledge Service Infrastructure

URUMQI, China, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 20th, State Grid Xinjiang Information & Telecommunication Company successfully completed the deployment and optimization of its knowledge service infrastructure, achieving unified management of cross-professional and internal/external knowledge resources. Currently, while the application of artificial intelligence continues to deepen, challenges remain in the knowledge service system and processing modes, which struggle to meet the demands of various specialized fields. Key pain points include the limitations of large models, the fragmentation of knowledge within the power industry, and low application efficiency. As the core infrastructure supporting the construction of the new power system, this platform aims to establish a comprehensive knowledge hub for the entire business chain, integrating industry knowledge resources and overcoming technical application bottlenecks. By leveraging RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technology, a mechanism combining "large model context learning" with "high-quality external knowledge input" has been established. Through precise retrieval of knowledge fragments and fusion of multi-source data, the recall accuracy rate has been enhanced to 94.7%, significantly surpassing traditional vector retrieval methods. This ensures the authority and precision of the output content. The knowledge service infrastructure platform possesses three core capabilities: integrated retrieval of internal and external knowledge bases, intelligent extraction of multimodal information, and advanced question-answering and data analysis functionalities. It employs a visual configuration system and provides flexible RAG policy support, enabling synchronous retrieval and intelligent matching across multi-source knowledge bases. To date, the company has gathered 19 requirements for RAG knowledge base construction and over 19,000 knowledge documents. Among these, 710 documents related to the intelligent judgment scenario of power economic relations have undergone knowledge slicing processing and knowledge space construction testing. The scenario application has been successfully integrated via API interfaces, with the recall accuracy of slice data increasing by more than 40% compared to the original method, thereby significantly enhancing the accuracy of question answering. This transformation markedly improves work efficiency and quality, driving a profound shift across professional domains from "experience-driven" to "knowledge-driven." Moving forward, State Grid Xinjiang Information & Telecommunication Company will continue to refine the knowledge service infrastructure platform, promoting iterative functional improvements. Persistent efforts will be made in knowledge internal storage management and regular operational support to ensure that the infrastructure services remain both applicable and user-friendly, while maintaining the authority and timeliness of knowledge content. This initiative effectively fosters the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology with power grid construction.
