THE AI INTERVIEW

“FEW INDUSTRIES COMBINE PHYSICAL ASSETS, SOFTWARE, DATA AND SAFETY CONSTRAINTS AT THIS SCALE”

Kaynaz Behdin SVP of Digital, Data & AI Stellantis
To address this directly, Stellantis runs an AI Academy, a persona-based enablement system covering executive coaching, hands-on workshops and role-based training. The goal here is not simply awareness, but habit and confidence – AI literacy embedded in day-to-day working practice.
Trust, safety and regulation complete the picture:“ Automotive is a safetycritical industry. As AI becomes more autonomous, companies must be confident in governance, cybersecurity, explainability and compliance. Without trust, AI simply won’ t scale.”
