I had the pleasure of speaking with Thomas Kropf, former President of Corporate Sector Research and Advance Engineering at Bosch, about the transformative role of AI in the corporate world and beyond. We explored how Bosch has been leveraging Generative AI across various business areas, delving into real-world applications, challenges, and lessons learned. Thomas shared his insights on how AI is reshaping industry collaborations, particularly among OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and hyperscalers, and discussed strategies for driving AI adoption in large organisations. We wrapped up with a forward-looking discussion on the future of AI, Thomas’ advice for startups and corporates, and key takeaways for leaders navigating technological change.
