Future of Automotive IT: Real AI Applications in the Automotive Industry

This conference will examine how manufacturers and suppliers are actually using AI applications in their operations and vehicles. 18th Annual Future of Automotive IT: Real AI Applications in the Automotive Industry September 18, 2026 This conference will be a hybrid conference with options to attend in person or to view via a YouTube livestream. Our 18th Annual Future of Automotive IT on September 18th at the University of Michigan is titled, “Real AI Applications in the Auto Industry.” We’ll be discussing examples of how AI is actually being used within the auto industry, inside companies and vehicles. We've put on AI conferences in the past that focused on AI, but the examples were always "in the near future" or how AI could be used. We think the technology has advanced enough within companies to talk about how it is really being used. Confirmed Speakers include: Bruce Belzowski, Managing Director, Automotive Futures will moderate the conference and provide an overview of the current AI trends in the industry.
