SAPVoice: Is Europe Ready For Artificial Intelligence?

Although artificial intelligence (AI) promises greater efficiency and could provide the key to tackling some of society's most pressing issues, not all Europeans are welcoming the technology with open arms. In a newly published thought leadership paper from SAP, "European Prosperity Through Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence," prepared by Andreas Tegge, head Global Public Policy, SAP addresses some anxieties and proposes measures for ensuring AI's rapid assimilation and advancement in Europe. No other technology currently inspires such fascination nor stirs up such heated debate as AI and the branch of AI known as machine learning. Algorithms that are capable of autonomously gaining insight from data without being explicitly programmed are already empowering machines to see, read, listen, and interact. In the intelligent enterprise, machine learning allows better and more efficient processes, which means that enterprises benefit from increased productivity levels and employees have more time to devote to tasks that add greater value.
