Bergkirchen, 17th March 2025 – WSCAD, a leader in the development of electrical CAD solutions for over three decades, has officially announced its membership in the voluntary EU AI Pact. This initiative, which is supported by approximately 200 technology companies across Europe, includes notable members such as Allianz SE, Deutsche Telekom, IBM, Lenovo, Nokia, PwC, Salesforce, and Telecom Italia.
The EU AI Pact is a voluntary commitment that allows participating companies to proactively prepare for the implementation of key provisions in the new EU AI Act. This legal framework, adopted by the European Union in mid-2024, represents a significant milestone in the regulation of artificial intelligence. “By joining the pact, WSCAD not only demonstrates its commitment to innovation but also its dedication to meeting high ethical and societal standards through the responsible use of AI,” states Dr. Axel Zein, CEO of WSCAD.
As a member of the EU AI Pact, WSCAD is committed to three key measures:
– Adopting an AI governance strategy to promote the use of AI within the organization and work towards future compliance with the AI Act.
– Identifying and mapping AI systems that may be classified as high-risk under the AI Act.
– Promoting AI awareness and literacy among staff, ensuring ethical and responsible development of AI.
These initiatives are not only implemented internally but also documented. Companies participating in the EU AI Pact commit to reporting their progress and concrete implementation after twelve months to ensure transparency and trust in the use of artificial intelligence.
In the fall of 2024, WSCAD presented ELECTRIX AI, the world’s first AI-powered electrical CAD software. This groundbreaking software automates complex tasks that previously required numerous manual steps, resulting in design processes up to 99 percent faster than before. With intelligent error detection, intuitive user guidance, and the ability to control complex tasks with simple commands, ELECTRIX AI has become an indispensable tool for electrical designers. “ELECTRIX AI is fundamentally transforming the way electrical engineering design is done,” says Axel Zein, CEO of WSCAD. The software is a real productivity booster.
However, WSCAD recognizes the growing responsibility that comes with the use of artificial intelligence. “WSCAD is not just a technology provider but also a responsible partner in digital transformation. Joining the EU AI Pact is a reflection of our holistic approach, where innovation and ethical responsibility go hand in hand. We already meet the legal requirements of the EU AI Pact today and will actively contribute to the further development of AI standards,” explains Dr. Axel Zein, CEO of WSCAD.
