I’m always looking for opportunities to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and connect with people building the future of Industrial AI.
Below you’ll find my podcasts, talks, publications, and projects – a living list I update as new things go live to connect with me and my content:

Industrial AI Must Understand Our Systems
Business Unplugged Podcast – February 2026
In this podcast conversation I discuss why industrial AI requires a fundamentally different approach compared to consumer AI applications. Industrial environments are complex ecosystems of machines, engineering tools, and data pipelines that must work together reliably.
We explore how AI systems can interact with industrial infrastructure, the challenges of integrating AI with engineering processes, and why interoperability between systems is critical for scaling AI in manufacturing.
The discussion also touches on the broader transformation AI will bring to engineering and industrial operations.
AI Compiling The World in Silicon Valley
Industrial AI Conference with Prof. Jay Lee – Silicon Valley
During my visit to Silicon Valley I had the opportunity to deliver a keynote at the Industrial AI Conference together with Prof. Jay Lee, one of the pioneers of Industrial AI.
The talk explored a simple but powerful idea: AI is beginning to compile the physical world, similar to how software once compiled human intent into executable code.
In industry, this means moving from isolated AI models toward systems that can translate goals into actions across engineering tools, simulation environments, and manufacturing systems. AI agents can increasingly connect design, analysis, and production workflows, forming continuous feedback loops between digital models and physical operations.
The session discussed how Industrial AI, agentic systems, and engineering orchestration will reshape how products are designed, simulated, and manufactured. Particular focus was placed on the infrastructure required to enable this shift – including interoperable engineering systems, data pipelines, and reasoning layers connecting digital and physical processes.
The talk also reflected on lessons from Silicon Valley and how similar innovation ecosystems could accelerate the adoption of Industrial AI globally.
Visual AI in Manufacturing and Robotics
Conference with by Voxel
Visual AI in Manufacturing and Robotics – September 12, 2025
The Digital Reasoning Thread in Manufacturing: Orchestrating Vision, Simulation, and Robotics
Manufacturing is entering a new phase where AI is no longer confined to isolated tasks like defect detection or predictive maintenance. Advances in reasoning AI, simulation, and robotics are converging to create end-to-end systems that can perceive, decide, and act – in both digital and physical environments.
This talk introduces the Digital Reasoning Thread – a consistent layer of AI reasoning that runs through every stage of manufacturing, connecting visual intelligence, digital twins, simulation environments, and robotic execution. By linking perception with advanced reasoning and action, this approach enables faster, higher-quality decisions across the entire value chain.
We will explore real-world examples of applying reasoning AI in industrial settings, combining simulation-driven analysis, orchestration frameworks, and the foundations needed for robotic execution in the physical world. Along the way, we will examine the key technical building blocks – from data pipelines and interoperability standards to agentic AI architectures – that make this level of integration possible.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how to bridge AI-driven perception with simulation and robotics, and what it takes to move from isolated pilots to orchestrated, autonomous manufacturing systems.

Webinar: AI in the Workplace: How to Implement It with a Plan
From RAG to Agents: Structuring AI and embedding it with the highest security standards
Many companies are testing AI. Few are using it in production. Why?
Lack of structure, too many tools, no platform strategy.
Our webinar shows how companies can integrate AI in a controlled, secure, and effective manner, with a focus on governance, architecture, and implementation.
Key Takeaways: From concept to productive AI—without tool sprawl.
- Why many AI projects remain stuck in the prototype phase and how to solve this with a platform approach
- How strategy and architecture must work together to achieve real relief and automation
- What on-premise, hybrid, or GDPR-compliant cloud scenarios mean from a technical and organizational perspective
What role a scalable AI platform plays, with a concrete practical example

Will AI Algorithms Become Our New Work Colleagues?
MCML DigDeep Podcast
In this episode we explore the growing role of AI systems as collaborators in professional environments. Rather than replacing human expertise, AI increasingly acts as a partner that augments engineering and business processes.
The conversation focuses on generative AI, the early stages of industrial adoption, and the opportunities and limitations of applying AI in real-world engineering environments.
The episode discusses how organizations can start integrating AI capabilities while maintaining reliability and trust.
AI-Driven 3D Technologies and Generative AI
IKN Italy Webinar
In this webinar hosted by IKN Italy, we explored how AI-driven 3D technologies are transforming design, engineering, and product development.
The session focused on how generative AI can support the automatic generation of optimized designs, improve visual intelligence in digital environments, and accelerate engineering workflows. From digital fashion to space economy and product design, AI-powered 3D technologies are opening new possibilities for modeling and interacting with complex systems.
Together with experts from Accenture and industry, we discussed how AI can reduce development time, improve product quality, and enable new forms of digital collaboration. The conversation also addressed emerging challenges around ethics, copyright, and the growing presence of AI-generated content in design and engineering.
