AI at Scale

"We often discuss the green transition and digital transformation in isolation, without systematically mapping where these skill sets actually overlap, or more importantly, where they don't." says Siddhi Pal, Senior Policy Researcher at Interface. In this episode of the AI at Scale podcast Siddhi explains why the combination of AI and green skills — named “twin transition skills” — is emerging as one of the most valuable capabilities in today’s economy.  In this episode, you’ll learn:  why defining and measuring green skills is critical for future workforce planning,  which green skills are common among AI professionals, and which are still rare,  how companies can balance internal reskilling with strategic external hires,  what actions can help close the gender gap and expand talent pools.  If you’re planning for growth in an era of climate action and AI acceleration, this episode delivers insights you can act on today. 

“AI will always keep the human at the center, it’s a guidance tool, not a replacement,” says Kim Custeau, Executive Vice President at AVEVA. What does that mean for the future of industrial operations? In this episode of AI at Scale, Kim shares how AI is moving beyond hype to become a practical enabler of efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. In this episode, you’ll learn:  Why AI adoption should begin with clear use cases.  How embedded AI assistants democratize access to trusted data and preserve critical knowledge for new employees.  How AI-driven automation of complex tasks boosts efficiency while keeping humans in control.  Practical steps leaders can take today to prepare their teams for dynamic, personalized AI-driven operations. 

AI is just a tool, but when strategically deployed, it can become the key to more efficient future of energy and industry. In this special episode of AI at Scale, recorded live at Innovation Summit Copenhagen, Schneider Electric’s Chief AI Officer, Philippe Rambach, shares how the company innovates with AI by implementing it across the entire portfolio. This deployment at scale is focused on solving real-world problems: optimizing energy consumption, extending asset lifecycles, and empowering engineers with intelligent tools that boost productivity and reduce operational workloads. 

What if AI could address the most persistent challenges in the industry? In this episode of AI at Scale podcast Malini Nambiar, Digital Customer Innovation Director for AI Applications at Schneider Electric, tells the story of how customer insights helped develop a GenAI assistant that solves some of the most pressing pain points of industrial companies: talent gap, long learning curves,  legacy programming languages and time-consuming code customization. The solution: Industrial Copilot for PLC. Built on Schneider Electric’s trusted PLC libraries, it helps developers generate robust, working code—fast.  

Are you sure you know how to save energy nowadays? Can the apps that control your lighting, heating, and car charging make decisions on their own? And is AI really working behind the scenes of our everyday choices? In this episode of AI at Scale, Malgorzata Gorska talks to Scott Harden, SVP Connected Offers and Chief Technology Officer Home Solutions at Schneider Electric. What does the home of the future look like - one that not only consumes energy, but also produces it, analyses it, and feeds it back into the grid? All with the help of AI that’s... practically invisible? In this episode, you'll learn: - How artificial intelligence optimizes energy use in the background - with no effort on our part, - Why smart home apps are often too complicated - and how to simplify them, - Which smart devices are most used in households around the world, - Whether it’s really worth charging your car at night - and how AI can help you decide.
