At the Engineering Summit #ES2025, the central meeting point for the industry and its decision-makers, Helmut Schuller shared his perspective on the role of AI in plant engineering in a conversation with Ansgar Kretschmer:It is no longer about if AI will be used, but how fast and how meaningfully it will be embedded in engineering, operations, and maintenance.
