Today we’re publishing an exclusive interview with Geir Engdahl, Co-Founder and CTO, AI at @CogniteData .
A very sharp conversation on why industrial AI usually doesn’t fail at the model layer, but on the plant floor.
We talked about:
Why impressive AI pilots often never survive real operations
What “context” actually means when mistakes can become dangerous
Where industrial agents should recommend, automate, or stay out
Why the gap between a working demo and a trusted system is massive
And Geir’s bold 2028 prediction for industrial companies without AI-driven process optimization
One of the most sober and least hype-driven conversations I’ve had this year about AI in the real world.
