From Sandbox to 25,000 Users: How Bayer Scales AI
From Sandbox to 25,000 Users: How Bayer Scales AI Nov 4, 2026 35:58 How do you scale AI in a heavily regulated company with more than 100,000 employees? Jan Tönnissen has spent over 18 years at Bayer, most recently leading an IT delivery platform behind MyGenesis. The internal GenAI and agentic platform grew from a few hundred users to 25,000 and more than 60,000 assistants. He also built Bayer’s AI community of 19,000 colleagues. In this episode, Jan explains wh
Flat Earth: Are Engineering Tools About to Disappear?
Flat Earth: Are Engineering Tools About to Disappear? Oct 28, 2026 1:16:54 We’re seeing an explosion of AI in engineering: models turning drawings into 3D designs, agents helping create plant layouts, and new tools challenging the way engineers work. So where will the value come from next—engineering software, AI platforms, or the context data behind them? I also explore whether agents could leap across the traditional automation pyramid and connect directly with industr
The Navier–Stokes Problem and the Agents
The Navier–Stokes Problem and the Agents Oct 21, 2026 27:01 Did OpenAI really solve the Navier–Stokes problem? In this episode, we ask mathematician Gonzalo Caolabora. and AI professor Günter Klambauer what the proof means, why it has been difficult to verify, and whether large language models are discovering mathematics or combining ideas from existing research. We also discuss why AI can excel at problems with verifiable answers, where today’s systems s
Time Series: The Most Underrated Domain in Industrial AI
Time Series: The Most Underrated Domain in Industrial AI Oct 14, 2026 1:04:03 We talk with Arburg’s Stefan Lamp and Werner Faulhaber about how AI is changing injection molding—from predicting process stability and quality to helping operators troubleshoot machines. They explain why time-series foundation models matter, where domain expertise makes the difference, and how simulation can shorten the setup of a new process. We also get into the practical questions: Can agents
