Spor | AI: Digital Tech Summit 2026

Fra forskning til fabriksgulv

DTS' største spor. Handler ikke om AI som teknologi i sig selv, men om industriel anvendelse i skala: hvordan globale danske virksomheder som DSV, LEGO og Nordea rent faktisk implementerer AI i drift, med hvilke resultater og hvilke organisatoriske smerter. Sporets akademiske ende ("Formelle metoder", "industriel AI-sikkerhed fra Fraunhofer") handler om tillid. Kan vi bevise, at AI-systemer gør det, de skal, når de sættes ind i kritisk infrastruktur og produktion.
