Artificial intelligence is seen as a major catalyst for innovation and industry transformation, akin to the computer's impact, as detailed by Dr. Tanja Rueckert from Robert Bosch GmbH. Public perception of AI is generally positive, with notable regional differences: while 34% in Germany perceive a beneficial societal impact, optimism is higher in China (66%). Education emerges as a critical area, with many advocating for AI to be a standalone subject to meet future skills demand. Job security concerns are modest, though AI-related training uptake remains low, particularly in Germany. The Bosch Tech Compass survey reveals varied global attitudes and technology adoption levels, highlighting the ongoing evolution and integration of AI in professional and educational spheres.
