The End of Housework Is in Sight: Innovating in the Age of AI

Dr. Markus Miele, Executive Director and Co-Proprietor of Miele & Cie. KG, takes the Innovation Stage to share Miele's broader approach to innovation — exploring how AI, human-centered design and innovation strategy come together to solve real customer challenges and shape the future of the home. Expect a perspective grounded in genuine user benefit: what it takes to turn cutting-edge technology into everyday value people can trust, from the family-owned German appliance maker founded in 1899. It's a look at how a heritage brand approaches AI without losing sight of the fundamentals — durability, design and sustainability — and what that means for the appliances people actually live with. Could AI really mean the end of housework? That's the question behind this keynote on the "World of AI & Future of Tech" track.
