On the latest episode of ‘Data Driven,’ I had the pleasure of inviting Rene Schulte, a luminary in the fields of AI, AR, VR, spatial computing, and quantum computing.

Rene shared fascinating personal insights, including his upbringing in former East Germany and his passion for working with innovation-driving communities at Reply. The future-forward chat explored the impact of quantum computing on optimization problems, the assurances of privacy with synthetic data, and the implications of global supply chain vulnerabilities.

The conversation then shifted to the evolution of AI’s role in society and the pivotal changes it is destined to bring about. Wrapping up the episode, Frank and Rene contemplated the role of embodied AI in taking over mundane housework, bringing us a step closer to a world where humans partner with machines for a smarter and more efficient existence.
