13-05-2025 08:00 13-05-2025 08:30 Europe/Madrid Physical AI and Europe’s Future in the Global AI Race Europe stands at a critical moment in the global AI race, where physical AI (the convergence of advanced AI, robotics and IoT) presents both an opportunity and a challenge. As AI shifts from cloud-based models to embedded, real-time intelligent systems, Europe's leadership in robotics, automation, and industrial AI can become a major competitive advantage. This keynote explores how embedded AI is transforming industries from smart manufacturing and mobility to healthcare and autonomous systems, unlocking unprecedented efficiencies and capabilities. The European Commission's €200 billion investment initiative creates a unique opportunity for Europe to lead AI innovation and drive growth in these evolving sectors. However, challenges remain: standardization gaps, security risks, and the high energy demands of AI systems must be addressed to maintain Europe's competitive edge. This keynote offers a strategic vision for Europe's AI driven future and practical steps for businesses to navigate the era of physical AI. IOT Room
