KI als Infrastruktur: Warum die Industrie jetzt handeln muss | Prof. Roman Dumitrescu

Artificial intelligence is evolving into the strategic infrastructure of industry. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Roman Dumitrescu explains why companies must already be laying the groundwork for an AI-enabled industry and what role computing infrastructure, engineering expertise, and technological sovereignty play in this process. The presentation focuses on current developments surrounding AI agents, multi-agent systems, data centers, industrial value creation, and the question of which competencies companies and regions need to develop by 2030. Concrete examples illustrate how artificial intelligence is transforming engineering, software development, and industrial innovation processes. This presentation was developed as part of the ENGAGE launch event and is aimed at decision-makers from industry, research, and business who want to actively shape this transformation. 🔹 Speaker: Prof. Dr.-Ing.
