Lubrizol builds digital foundation linking AI, cloud and R&D data

Lubrizol is building a digital foundation that connects its business processes, data platforms and cloud infrastructure to support its R&D teams, according to Girish Rao, the company's vice president of information technology.

Rao told MIT Technology Review that the company forms "fusion teams" of scientists, data scientists and IT staff, starting with small pilots to build trust.

The report is a single interview with Rao, and it does not give figures on the project's cost, scope or results.
