The pressure to innovate is on the departments

The "BILD-Zeitung" trembles with reference to Tesla boss Elon Musk about "the greatest risk for civilisation", the news magazine "Spiegel" warns that God does not need a teacher - artificial intelligence (AI) is making headlines in the press. In contrast, the experts from various IT providers who met in the COMPUTERWOCHE editorial office in mid-December took a more objective view. The following conclusions emerged from their lively discussion:

  1. The acceptance of AI / ML does not depend on the size of the company
  2. Many companies do not know where to start with AI / ML
  3. Companies discover process mining
  4. Even algorithms have limits
  5. AI leads to the battle of the decision-makers
  6. AI and ML only work according to an interdisciplinary team approach
  7. Germany has a good starting position, but needs a cultural change

Conclusion:
In order to exploit the potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning, Germany needs a cultural change. Not easy in a country where many decision-makers still have reservations about new ideas.
