Nils Janus | AI at Scale in Safety-Critical Manufacturing

In this episode, we sit down with Nils Janus, Chief AI Officer at Covestro, for a conversation on what it takes to deploy AI at scale across the safety-first world of chemical manufacturing. Nils brings a mathematician’s clarity and a background in theoretical computer science and psychology to the challenge of leading traditional industrial heritage into digital leadership.Why is Covestro replacing traditional 5-to-10-year IT roadmaps with agile 6-month game plans? How do probabilistic machine learning models win the trust of traditional chemical engineers to optimize batch cycle times? And what does it mean to define AI simply as Machine Learning plus Autonomy?Nils unpacks how automated plant monitoring unlocked double-digit million-euro cost avoidance, how Covestro’s internal AI Academy upskills domain experts into departmental AI leaders, and why Europe’s competitive edge lies in combining centuries of industrial heritage with AI innovation. From closed-loop plant control under strict safety guarantees to quantum-driven material simulation, this conversation offers a practical blueprint for turning AI ambition into bottom-line impact.

Rethinking Predictive Maintenance - Episode One: Closing the Knowledge Gap - with Rachel Green

Welcome to the Trend Detection podcast, brought to you by Senseye Predictive Maintenance – which gives you visibility and insights into all your assets, from single machines to full plants to help you reduce downtime, increase knowledge sharing and accelerate digital transformation across your organization.This episode launches Rethinking Predictive Maintenance, a new Trend Detection podcast series exploring how manufacturers can retain expertise, capture new forms of machine information, evaluate predictive maintenance and expand successful approaches across multiple sites.In this first episode, host Niall Sullivan is joined by Rachel Green to explore what happens when experienced manufacturing and maintenance professionals leave the workforce, taking decades of knowledge with them.Rachel explains why technical information alone cannot replace the experience, judgement and credibility built over a long career.She discusses how manufacturers can reduce their dependence on a small number of experts by capturing maintenance history, adding context to machine data and using predictive maintenance and AI to help people access the right knowledge when they need it.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why critical maintenance knowledge is so difficult to replaceHow reliance on a small number of experts creates operational riskWhy standard procedures cannot capture every real-world maintenance scenarioHow predictive maintenance and AI can make experience more accessibleWhy technology should support experts and develop the next generation, rather than replace peopleYou can find out more about how Senseye Predictive Maintenance can reduce unplanned downtime and contribute towards improved sustainability within your manufacturing plants, by visiting: www.siemens.com/senseye-predictive-maintenance

Jochen Gross | Why Data Is the Foundation of Every Sustainability Transformation

In this episode, we sit down with Jochen Gross, who leads Data Strategy and Architecture within the Sustainability team at Siemens, for a conversation that challenges how we think about both AI and sustainability. Jochen takes us behind the scenes of one of the most complex data challenges in corporate history: building the foundation that makes sustainable decision-making actually possible at scale.Why has sustainability evolved from a values-driven conversation into a data-driven discipline? Why are frameworks like the CSRD accelerating rather than slowing down the industry?Jochen unpacks the tension at the heart of AI today: the same technology consuming enormous energy could be our most powerful weapon against climate change. From product carbon footprints to digital twins that turned a 50kg robot gripper into a 2kg polymer marvel, Jochen shows us that the greatest untapped opportunity in sustainability isn't policy or engineering — it's data. And if you think that sounds dry, think again.

Erik Brynjolfsson | The Economics of Getting AI Right

In this episode, we headed to the heart of Silicon Valley to meet Professor Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of Stanford's Digital Economy Lab and one of the world's leading thinkers on the economics of AI, for a conversation that bridges economics with bold human vision. Erik brings his clarity to some of today's biggest leadership questions: Why are companies spending billions on AI but seeing underwhelming results? What does his famous productivity J curve tell us about where we are right now and how close we are to turning the corner? And what separates the organizations that will thrive from those that won't survive the transition? From the power law of AI adoption and the danger of selection bias in productivity metrics, to the philosophical question of whether AI will one day need to "accept" us humans too, this episode is as thought-provoking as it is practical. Erik also shares why he believes we are not passive bystanders in the AI era, but active agents with more power to shape the world than any generation before us. A must-listen for leaders, innovators, and anyone ready to stop wondering what AI will do to them, and start deciding what they will do with it.
