AI² is officially founded

AI² – Association Industrial AI is officially founded. With the founding meeting complete, the association is taking the next step: an open, neutral, and execution-oriented platform for Industrial AI.

AI is already changing how we work in engineering, manufacturing, automation, operations, and supply chains. In industry, adoption is not only about models or tools—it is about integration, standards, and trust, and about bringing the right experts together across the ecosystem. That is why AI² exists.

Our mission is to connect industry, academia, technology providers, system integrators, startups, and practitioners to accelerate the responsible and practical adoption of AI in industrial environments.

We are building a place where experts can exchange real experience, develop best practices, form working groups, and move from isolated AI use cases toward scalable industrial impact. If you want to take part, see expert groups and membership.

Thank you to our founding members and early supporters for being part of this journey from the beginning—and to our wider community for your interest and encouragement. This is only the start.
