CA-C3.AI-DTI
The C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute (DTI) today announced that global energy company Shell is the newest industry partner to join the consortium of universities, national laboratories, and companies that make up the Institute. Shell’s Chief Scientist - Computation and Data Science Detlef Hohl will represent the company in the consortium.
The DTI Industry Partner Program enables leading companies from around the world to engage with DTI researchers and activities and to contribute data sets that will be available for research after anonymization. Industry partners also are encouraged to engage with Institute researchers and collaborate on research projects as well as participate in DTI conferences.
DTI recently released its second call for proposals to fund advanced research projects focused on applying digital transformation and AI to address energy and climate security.
“Shell has established clear leadership in new energy, having laid out its ‘Powering Progress’ commitment to accelerate the transition of Shell’s businesses to net zero emissions,” said Tom Siebel, C3 AI founder and CEO. “Shell will be an important partner as DTI accelerates its clean energy and climate initiatives.”
“At Shell, we have a long history in the area of Data Science. AI has made phenomenal progress in the past decade and will undoubtedly be one of the driving forces behind enabling the transition to a lower-carbon world, but we recognise that we cannot solve these issues on our own,” said Detlef Hohl. “We believe that partnerships between industry, technology companies, and academia are vital to accelerating the impact that AI can have in the energy sector. We are pleased to become a part of the renowned C3DTI and to play our part in accelerating the benefits of artificial intelligence across business, government, and society.”
“We welcome Shell to the C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute and look forward to working together to apply digital transformation science to advance its innovative and ambitious energy transition goals,” said S. Shankar Sastry, C3.ai DTI co-director and the Thomas M. Siebel Professor in Computer Science at UC Berkeley.
“Shell and Microsoft are committed to working closely together to achieve a net-zero emissions future,” said Judson Althoff, executive vice president, Worldwide Commercial Business, Microsoft. “Shell will be an impactful new leader in the C3.ai DTI energy and climate initiatives.”

OCTO Revolutionizes Vehicle Safety with AI: Introducing the Proactive and Predictive Anti-Theft System10.12.2025 10:00:00 CET | Press release
Anticipating a theft before it happens. This is the goal of OCTO’s new predictive anti-theft system, developed by the global leader in telematics and data analytics solutions for connected mobility. The new technology combines artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced sensors to deliver real-time, personalized vehicle protection capable of recognizing risk signals before a theft event occurs. Drawing on more than 22 years of experience and 610 billion kilometers of driving data, the system transforms the paradigm of vehicle security from reactive to proactive. This approach enables prevention rather than mere response, increasing protection for both private vehicles and corporate fleets. The main features include: Tampering detection: sensors identify attempts to access or remove the devices. Abnormal vehicle movement: the system detects vehicle dragging or lifting while the engine is off. Loss of connection between the devices installed on the vehicle: when one of the tw
