The Impact of AI Adoption in the Advanced Manufacturing Sector: Robert Hardt and Raneem Zaitoun

Watch the former President & CEO of Siemens Canada, Robert Hardt, and one of ICTC's Digital Youth Ambassadors, Raneem Zaitoun, discuss opportunities for AI within Canada's advanced manufacturing sector. The greatest opportunity for AI to improve productivity and bolster national competitiveness is through industrial-scale AI adoption across priority sectors of the Canadian economy. As we gear up to launch ICTC's Industrial AI & Innovation Bootcamps in early 2027, we're convening emerging Canadians leaders and global industry experts to talk about the cascading effect AI adoption can have on Canada's economic growth across priority sectors such as manufacturing, aerospace and defence, and natural resources. This intergenerational dialogue between Robert and Raneem is the first part of the conversational series about how AI is transforming these sectors, where the most significant adoption opportunities are emerging, and how young Canadians can contribute to—and help lead—this transformation.
