    The Industrial Superintelligence Podcast
    Sep 30 2026
    In this episode, we dive deep into the world of agentic AI and its transformative impact on industrial organizations - thanks to Jana Kirchheim from Microsoft. We share fresh insights from our conversations with industry leaders on how hyperteams—blending humans and AI agents—are changing the rules of leadership, governance, and knowledge management. You'll hear practical examples from companies like Bayer and discover how even mid-sized firms can harness agents for real business value. We discuss the challenges of orchestrating thousands of agents, building effective governance, and capturing critical tacit knowledge before it disappears. Join us as we explore what it takes to be brave, adapt, and thrive in the era of superintelligent industrial AI.

  • AI Material Breakthroughs & The Missing Modality

    AI Material Breakthroughs & The Missing Modality
    Sep 16 2026
    In this episode, we dive deep into the evolving landscape of industrial AI—from the fierce competition on model leaderboards to the real-world impact of open versus closed AI systems. We question whether it’s necessary to follow every new model or if specialization is the future, using examples from industrial time series and the latest in material science. Alongside our guest Alexander Hammer from Dunia, we explore how AI and autonomous labs are accelerating the discovery of next-generation materials, bridging the gap between simulation and reality. As we reflect on what it means to 'think' in AI—beyond just language or images—we challenge listeners to consider the missing modalities shaping tomorrow’s technology. Join us for insightful stories, candid debates, and a glimpse into the frontier where AI meets the physical world.
