GenAI in Bridge’s Ship Operation
Abstract
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools are an emerging class of new-age artificial intelligence algorithms capable of producing novel content — in varied formats such as text, audio, video, pictures, and code — based on user prompts. This key technology has demonstrated remarkable flexibility in analysing and structuring data and text into accessible information, vital for integrating humans, data, and systems. This paper presents its applications in the management of the ship's bridge, revealing the great potential of this new technology and the great potential for improving the operations and resource management of the bridge. It is a theoretical - bibliographical study of the subject of GenAI with a focus on the shipping industry and especially in Ship’s Bridge Operation. It was found that the development of GenAI is rapid, and there are many areas of application in shipping and ship's bridge management. It provides greater flexibility, reliability and reduces the workload of Officers. However, not enough commercial applications were found, indicating that there is a large scope for future development.
