DI Wolfgang Freiseisen, CEO RISC Software GmbH
OK AI, how do you deal with reality – and if so, can you prove it?
Generative AI dominates the headlines, but a fundamental change is taking place behind the scenes: intuition gives way to specification, assertion gives way to proof. Because for industrial applications, AI that only claims is not enough.
In his keynote, Wolfgang Freiseisen shows how symbolic AI and modern machine learning are combined into hybrid AI. An AI that works not despite mathematics, but because of it. Using concrete examples from simulation, optimization, and anomaly detection, he reveals where AI really stands in industry today and how decision-makers can distinguish between hype and tangible competitive advantage.
