AI in the Forest 2: From Annotation to Automation

We spent time in the Black Forest, where innovation met inspiration at our latest industrial AI gathering. In this episode, we share stories—from empowering autistic talent in data annotation to the technical leaps in foundation models for time series. You’ll hear from leading minds like Jakub Tomczak, who flew in from San Francisco to challenge what’s possible in generative AI, and explore how the landscape is shifting from traditional machine learning to adaptive, context-rich automation. Join us as we question what makes AI truly intelligent, debate the role of human factors, and look ahead to the next wave of industrial transformation. If you’re curious about how AI is evolving in real factories, how new job profiles are emerging, or why continuous learning and time series matter more than ever, this conversation is for you.
