AI² – Association for Industrial AI
Accelerating Industrial AI in Engineering Manufacturing Robotics Supply Chain
AI² is the global association connecting industry, academia, and technology leaders to advance Industrial AI.
Our mission is to bring together experts in Industrial and Generative AI, provide a neutral space for collaboration, and share knowledge and best practices. We support the development of practical solutions that help organisations adopt AI at scale across engineering, manufacturing, and operations.
Join a network of experts from companies such as
Our Focus Areas
Engineering
Application of AI in Engineering, R&D, and Product Development. Focusing on use cases around the V-model and their strategic integration within Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).
Manufacturing
Integrating AI-driven solutions to optimize manufacturing operations. Enhancing production efficiency, predictive maintenance, and quality control through advanced analytics and generative AI.
Robotics
Visual foundation models, reinforcement learning, and multimodal perception. Smarter automation, enhanced autonomy, and adaptive human-machine collaboration in complex industrial environments.

Digital Reasoning Thread
The Digital Reasoning Thread (DRT) is a layer that connects data, models, tools, and decisions across the industrial toolchain so AI systems can reason consistently over engineering and operational processes.
It keeps context, logic, and provenance aligned across systems – allowing AI actions to be traceable, verifiable, and coordinated across the entire lifecycle.
