Ethical AI Solutions and Their Impact on Life Sciences and Beyond - with Dr. Steffen Hoffmann of Bosch

Today's guest is Dr. Steffen Hoffmann, Managing Director of Bosch UK. Dr. Hoffmann joins Emerj Editorial Director Matthew DeMello to explore the strategic deployment of AI across industrial sectors, from manufacturing operations to internal business systems. Dr. Hoffmann shares how AI is helping manufacturers address upstream process variables to reduce defect rates and improve efficiency. He also discusses the importance of "human in the loop" oversight in regulated environments, and how Bosch's internal deployment of generative AI — starting with an HR assistant — serves as a model for cautious, business-aligned innovation. The conversation explores industrial applications of AI governance, the role of internal use cases in de-risking new technologies, and the broader cultural conversation around balancing AI's risks and rewards.
