In order to keep up with technological progress and remain competitive, access to the latest technology-based research is crucial for companies. This can be achieved, for example, through joint projects with research partners, in which the knowledge content reaches companies "just in time" via established structures. How people can move proficiently in an increasingly digitalised world, participate in it and actively shape it, is a decisive question for the design of educational concepts. Innovative topics, which include artificial intelligence processes, require well thought-out approaches in order to quickly find their way into companies. The University of Augsburg is tackling this task with its educational programme "AI in Production".
 
In order for AI applications to be used across the board in production, continuous educational formats that enable lifelong learning are necessary. Employees "outside the field" must be made aware of the potential of AI in production and trained in its profitable use.
