Barbara Humpton: 我认为我们正处于第四次工业革命之中，西门子有幸参与了每一次工业革命。如今，工业和科技领域正在融合，软件定义的自动化正在以IT行业的速度改变工厂车间。我认为人工智能在制造业中扮演着关键角色，它不仅可以提高效率，还能推动创新。数字孪生技术是实现这一转型的关键工具，它使我们能够在虚拟世界中模拟和优化生产流程。我相信通过将现实世界与数字世界相结合，我们可以彻底改变制造业，并为每个人创造更美好的未来。我坚信人工智能将成为一种语言，一种翻译器，让更多人能够参与到制造业中来，无论他们之前的背景如何。在德克萨斯州沃斯堡，我们已经成功地将前厨师和送货司机培训成为制造商，这充分证明了人工智能在赋能劳动力方面的潜力。
