Powering transformation with intelligent automation & AI

Successful integration and scaling of exponential technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and automation is just as much about people as it is the technology, argues Rickard Wieselfors, Head of Automation and AI at Ericsson. According to a recent student commissioned by Ericsson, 99 percent of the 2,000 senior leaders interviewed from different organisations said they faced challenges integrating AI and automation initiatives. Moreover, 87 percent of those respondents faced greater challenges relating to people and culture over technology or organisational challenges. Wieselfors says there are many challenges and lessons to learn when integrating new technologies, regardless of the size, age, or industry of an enterprise. In this new Euronews Next SAP vodcast episode, Marika Auramo, Chief Operating Office of SAP (EMEA North) and Jesper Schleimann, Chief Strategy and Information Officer (EMEA North) sat down with Wieselfors to learn more about what it takes to integrate and scale technologies successfully, both from a technical and people perspective.
