AI in the engine room: How MTU Aero Engines is shaping the future of aviation

In the latest episode of Pioneers of Change, we welcome Dr. Lutz Seidenfaden, CIO at MTU Aero Engines AG . Together, we discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming processes in aviation, how MTU Aero Engines uses AI for process optimization, and how it develops digital services that create real added value for its customers.

Dr. Lutz Seidenfaden also discusses the challenge of creating broad acceptance for AI within companies and overcoming cultural barriers. He explains the importance of employees developing trust in new technologies and the role that practical training, such as prompting sessions, plays in this process.

His message is clear: "Those who close themselves off to AI today will lose out tomorrow." A conversation about the opportunities that AI offers in a technology-driven environment, and why openness and a willingness to experiment are the key to the future.
