I spoke with Yun Luo, former Vice President and Head of Business Area Autonomous Mobility China at Continental, about the transformative journey of AI. We explored AI’s evolution from early pattern recognition to advanced neural networks and the generative AI models shaping industries today. Yun shared his insights on ADAS advancements and the diverse applications of large language models in fields like fashion, where GenAI is revolutionising design and customer interaction. We also discussed the game-changing impact of GenAI on software development, where productivity gains are scaling up to fivefold, and looked toward the future of autonomous driving with GenAI. Yun provided valuable recommendations for leaders on the organisational shifts necessary to harness AI's full potential, navigating challenges and driving innovation forward.
