Main Sessions
AI beyond the hype

 

The rapid evolution of AI has left us in awe, prompting both high expectations and fears of the unknown. However, much of the progress we witness today is disconnected from the core business systems and data, leading to recent scepticism by early adopters. The potential for applying this technology to the vast amounts of business data within mission critical enterprise systems is truly staggering. SAP and its partners are leading the way in integrating AI into these systems, with significant investments in Business AI. In the upcoming presentation we will illustrate our strategy, summarize lessons learned and showcase real customer examples.
