Industrial AI jeopardy: the truth about inaction

In today’s episode of the Industry Forward podcast, host John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry Software (Siemens) and William (Bill) Hahn, Director of Solutions Consulting at Siemens discuss why organizations must adopt industrial AI technologies. They then dig into how to convince skeptics before it is too late.
