Founding members

The AI² Network is the public face of the Association for Industrial AI: a member-driven, not-for-profit–oriented community initiative that is independent of any single company or product vendor. The aim is open collaboration, shared standards, and responsible adoption of industrial AI in real operations—without replacing established engineering practice.

Founding members are drawn from three pillars: industry (operators, integrators, and product leaders), academia and applied research, and technology and engineering. They shaped the first chapter of the network: working groups, events, and the material you see on this site. Formal legal form, statutes, and domicile of the Association are set out in its own documentation; this page describes the public mission and the people who launched the public programme.

The people listed below are the founding members with public profiles: each has a full member page, including the working group they lead or co-lead and how to follow their work (for example on LinkedIn).
