Germany’s core industries, like car manufacturing, are under threat from competition abroad. Could artificial intelligence (AI) get Europe’s most powerful economy back on track?

Only two weeks ago its colation government collapsed, involving complicated constitutional questions at a time when economic growth has stalled.

Some of the world’s greatest experts on AI have gathered at the Falling Walls Science Summit, held on the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

It is 35th anniversry of the fall of the Berlin Wall, at the falling wall science summit looking at a gathering of the world’s greatest experts on artificial intelligence.

Founder of the summit Sebastian Turner hopes they will build bridges and break barriers, saying “which are the next walls to come down?”

Among the attendees is Richard Socher, whise pioneering research into prompt engineering lead to the explosion in generative AI.

Asked about how Germany could become one of the best countries for AI, he said it has to start “early on in high school” where people should study the English as a foreign language and also Python.

Meanwhile, two Berlin-based artists Matt Dryhurst and Holly Herndon also reveal how they use AI to aid the creative process.

    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Germany’s economy, facing challenges such as a shrinking labor force and declining industrial productivity, is increasingly looking to artificial intelligence (AI) as a potential savior. AI offers significant opportunities to address these issues by enhancing efficiency, innovation, and workforce flexibility. This reflects Germany's intent to lead in "AI made in Europe" initiatives. Germany also ranks third globally in AI readiness, thanks to robust digital infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and a focus on integrating AI into its industrial base. This foundation allows AI to help offset demographic challenges and drive productivity in sectors ranging from manufacturing to healthcare. There are challenges such as data privacy concerns, regulatory complexities, and uneven adoption across industries. A focus on upskilling workers and fostering AI-driven education will also be critical to ensure that the workforce can adapt to and thrive alongside new technologies. AI is not magic, it’s a tool, but with a huge transformative potential for Germany, positioning it to maintain global competitiveness amid structural challenges.
