From enhancing productivity to fostering sustainable development, artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the industrial world, emerging as one of the most heated topics globally. At the 2024 Hannover Messe, Germany's leading industrial trade fair, the overwhelming trend of AI was also apparent, as global industrial leaders converged to showcase cutting-edge products and innovations in the AI arena.
This year's Hannover Messe, which focused on \"energizing a sustainable industry,\" kicked off on Monday and ran till Friday, featuring key areas including digitalization, energy transformation, AI, and machine learning.
As one of the world's largest international events in the industrial sector, Hannover Messe is renowned as the \"barometer of world industrial development.\" Almost 4,000 exhibitors from around 60 countries and regions participated in this year's event. Among them, the Chinese mainland exhibitors accounted for 30 percent of the participants, second only to the host Germany, according to the organizer.
\"Innovation, the desire to develop new things, is what one feels here,\" said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the fair. \"AI could be found in even the smallest products.\"
Jonas Gahr Store, prime minister of Norway, this year's partner country, was also impressed, saying that \"many of the things that we have seen here today would have been science fiction if introduced five years ago.\"
