In every process, we examine how artificial intelligence (AI) can improve the result so that we can offer our customers even more attractive products and organize our work more efficiently. Wherever we see potential, we utilize artificial intelligence in a targeted manner. Scalable, responsible and with clear industrial benefits. Our ambition: AI everywhere, in every process. Hauke Stars The value of artificial intelligence – no process without AI For us, AI is a strategic driver on the road to the future of the automotive industry. Whether in autonomous driving or in quality assurance, in the supply chain or in administrative work: We are bringing artificial intelligence into all areas. In this way, we are accelerating development cycles, automating processes and promoting new ideas – including in design and material construction. This is how we are actively shaping the future of the automotive industry. Artificial intelligence in practice – more than 1,200 AI applications in use Over 1,200 AI applications are already active across the Group, with hundreds more in development or about to be implemented. Artificial intelligence is used in all central areas of the Volkswagen Group: from vehicle development and production to cybersecurity and also in the Group-wide exchange of knowledge. We want to become significantly faster and more efficient through the consistent, scalable use of AI along the entire automotive value chain. Advantages through AI We use artificial intelligence to improve our products and processes. The difference is tangible: more attractive vehicles and faster availability of technologieseven better service for customersmore efficient use of energy and materials in productionlower costs and CO₂ emissions Artificial intelligence – human judgment AI needs rules, and this also applies to the automotive industry. That is why we act on the basis of ethical standards and European regulation.

Automobile mobility of tomorrow – far more than just driving a car From generative AI in the cockpit to innovative assistance functions: Together with leading technology partners, the Volkswagen Group brands are developing services that go far beyond driving. In this way, we are simplifying interaction with the vehicle, enabling greater convenience for our customers and increasing safety on the road. We are driving forward the development of our car of the future. For example, in our joint venture with the US start-up Rivian Automotive, or with the China Electronic Architecture, developed in collaboration with our Chinese partner Xpeng. Artificial intelligence – intuitively controlled When it comes to the car of the future, we consistently rely on artificial intelligence. One example: In early 2024, Volkswagen was the first major car manufacturer to integrate ChatGPT into vehicles as standard. Many of our brands now use ChatGPT in their models, including Audi, Seat and Škoda. Whether navigation, music or air conditioning: All of these could already be controlled using voice assistants. With ChatGPT, the possibilities increase enormously: The AI can, for example, explain places of interest, give football results or solve maths problems on the move – simply and intuitively controlled in natural language, without losing sight of the traffic. Good to know: The AI has no access to vehicle and user data, so sensitive information remains protected at all times. Software-defined vehicle – intelligent right from the start Software as the starting point: The Volkswagen Group is developing new car models as software-defined vehicles (SDVs) – a major development leap away from the classic vehicle concept, in which the hardware with mechanical and electronic components takes center stage. With the SDV, the software becomes the central element of the user experience; the vehicle’s intelligence is based on programmable systems.

Students, doctoral candidates, and postdocs are invited to develop their vision of an AI-driven vehicle experience — inspired by the spirit of the film icon “Herbie,” the car with intelligence and personality. The tech challenge is scheduled to start in autumn 2025. We will provide more information here starting in October. IAA Mobility 2025 The IAA MOBILITY will take place in Munich from 9th to 14th September, 2025. On its way to becoming a global technology driver in the automotive industry, the company will provide plenty of proof points for this in the form of technological innovations and celebrate several vehicle world premieres from 7th to 12th September.

Up to one billion euros in investments planned by 2030 for AI-driven vehicle development, industrial applications, and high-performance IT infrastructure.Efficiency gains and cost avoidance opportunities of up to four billion euros expected by 2035.AI is set to significantly accelerate development processes for new vehicle models and technologies.Expansion of European infrastructure: Volkswagen is strengthening its digital resilience against external risks and influences.Hauke Stars, Member of the Board of Management for IT at Volkswagen Group: “AI is our key to greater speed, quality, and competitiveness. Our ambition: No process without AI.” Volkswagen Group intends to invest up to one billion euros in the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030 as part of its existing investment planning. The company announced this during the IAA Mobility trade fair. The focus is on AI-supported vehicle development, industrial applications, and the expansion of high-performance IT infrastructures. The goal is to make vehicles and innovations available to customers even faster. At the same time, Volkswagen expects sustainable efficiency gains through the consistent use of AI – and a strengthened, more resilient position in the global technology competition. "With artificial intelligence, we are igniting the next stage on our path to becoming the global automotive tech driver", says Hauke Stars, Member of the Board of Management for IT at the Volkswagen Group. "AI is our key to greater speed, quality, and competitiveness – across the entire value chain, from vehicle development to production. Our ambition is to accelerate our development of attractive, innovative vehicles and bring them to our customers faster than ever before. To achieve this, we deploy AI with purpose: scalable, responsible, and with clear industrial benefits. Our ambition: No process without AI.” Artificial intelligence is already being used across all key business domains of the Volkswagen Group.

In every process and every development, we examine how artificial intelligence (AI) can improve the result in order to offer our customers even more attractive products and make our work more efficient. Partnerships With our brands, experience and global expertise, we are uniquely positioned worldwide. We are expanding our capabilities in a targeted manner by collaborating with leading technology partners. Our credo: We develop the best technologies for our customers – as quickly as possible.

However, the provision and application of AI also comes with a great responsibility. The Volkswagen Group has created Ethical Principles for AI as a basic orientation for the ethical use of AI systems. These are based on the cross-brand and value-based foundation of the Code of Conduct. Through our total commitment to integrity and compliance, we ensure comprehensive protection for our company, our employees, customers and business partners. Our values-based approach and consistent compliance with our guidelines form the foundation for trust and success. Nicolas Heyer Our Whistleblower System We want to know about and prevent possible misconduct. Every information helps. Anti-Corruption at the Volkswagen Group There is no place for corruption at Volkswagen! We have a clear zero-tolerance policy regarding active and passive corruption.
