THE AI INTERVIEW
This transition is already visible across Schneider’ s portfolio, including the Advanced Distribution Management System( ADMS) and industrial automation tools. The goal is a future where software doesn’ t just present data but interprets it on demand.
Cultivating critical thinking As AI tools become more pervasive, the risk of“ blind belief” or total rejection grows. To counter this, Schneider has prioritised a massive internal training initiative. While standard corporate training usually focuses on compliance and safety, Schneider has introduced mandatory AI training for all employees, with the same level of institutional rigour as anti-corruption or safety training. Interestingly, the cornerstone of this training isn’ t just technical skill, but a soft skill: critical thinking.
“ We want people to keep critical thinking when AI gives an answer,” Philippe notes.“ We know the AI answer may not be 100 % accurate. Sometimes it’ s wrong, sometimes partially wrong. So, keeping critical thinking, checking your sources, checking where it takes information from and so on is extremely important.”
