The latest Bitkom Cloud Study once again confirms the importance of cloud technology for the digitalization and thus ultimately the competitiveness of German companies. The demand for cloud services continues to rise unabated, driven in particular by the digitalization of internal processes as well as AI and cybersecurity. The demand for AI applications alone will double in the next 5 years. 40% of companies are already relying on cloud-only or cloud-first strategies. Accordingly, cloud services will dominate IT in just a few years. However, bottleneck factors in this transformation are costs, time and the shortage of skilled workers. - We offer suitable solutions for this.

Since a while the below is one of the best podcast interviews I have heard. Richard David Precht, a german philosopher, author and podcaster is discussing with Jürgen Schmidhuber the future of artificial intelligence and if that the world biggest thread or if it will turn into the world biggest opportunity. It is a deep talk in german and maybe my international follower will find a way using AI to listen to it in their preferred language. Strongly recommended and well done to Mr. Precht and Mr. Schmidhuber https://lnkd.in/e-CrZzZi

Last week, my dear colleagues Susanne Adler and Marija Dejanova, posed an intriguing question: “Rolf, with #WorldBookDay approaching, have you considered sharing which book has left a deep impression on your life and nurtured your #Growthmindset?” Reflecting on their question, I realized that not just one, but at least three books have influenced my mindset and are absolutely worth sharing: Ian Kershaw – "To Hell and Back", a Christmas gift from my daughter, gripped me from the moment I opened it— it details the origins of the First World War, the horrific unfolding of events, and the suffering it inflicted across Western and Eastern Europe. It explores how the war's end, coupled with the Russian Communist Revolution and damaged German national pride, paved the way for the rise of the Nazis and even more catastrophic Second World War. What relation does this have to a "growth mindset"? None whatsoever. Instead, it showcases the dangers of a "closed mindset" - dogmatism, pettiness, egoism, fear, and a refusal to compromise. It serves as a poignant reminder and a call to action for anyone following today’s headlines. Walter Isaacson – “Steve Jobs”, more than just a biography, this book serves as a bible of management do's and don'ts as seen through the life of Steve Jobs. It reveals Jobs' flaws and missteps while illuminating how he emerged as one of the most, if not the most, successful leaders in business history. His leadership, often seen as embodying a "growth mindset," truly reflects a visionary's foresight, anticipating and even inventing future consumer needs. Even though I read the book more than eight years ago, I vividly remember each chapter, including his "reality distortion" attitude. Kazuo Ishiguro – “Klara and the Sun”: Currently on my bedside table, this novel begins with a slow burn but quickly builds into a compelling narrative. Told through the eyes of Klara, an Artificial Friend, designed to accompany children, the story explores her life with a terminally ill child whom she is meant to eventually replace. This narrative delves into the potential futures of AI and imagines how machines might one day embody a "growth mindset." Together, these three books offer a profound exploration of human history, the complexities of our nature, and the brilliance of our innovations. They paint a picture of a future where humanity may coexist with machines—not just as forms of AI, but as integral, artificial companions in our daily lives. Let me turn the question back to Susanne Adler, Marija Dejanova & other colleagues: Which book has left an indelible mark on your growth journey? Don't forget, we're also running a World Book Day challenge for all Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier and International Network & Service Unit employees, with a chance to win a special book bundle tailored to cultivate a growth mindset!

Another post on 6G. Leave me alone with this insubstantial buzzword-bingo... Yes, 6G as a whole is still a future technology. Still, being involved in research and standardization is the basis for regaining digital souvereignity in mobile communications. Profound knowledge, strong research institutions and networked partnerships right from the beginning: We are starting from a vantage point and it's great to be part of the movement. Let's make 6G a success! 6G-life Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung CeTI 6G-Plattform

Impressive event on 'SCALING INDUSTRIAL DATA ECOSYSTEMS' today together with German Minister Dr. Robert Habeck. IT, digitalisation and AI are important business factors and to further improve our positioning we need to cooperate. Teamplay becomes more important to improve our competitive position in a global market.

Intro to the General Assembly of digitalswitzerland with a fulminant keynote of Alex Ilic, AI Center ETHZ, re the potential of Switzerland as a leading #AI nation. New leadership team elected: Andreas Meyer President, succeeding Sascha Zahnd, and Franziska Barmettler CEO, succeeding Stefan Metzger. Trust in digital incl. quality cybersecurity as overarching goal of the platform, with focus on 1. Eduction 2. Trustworthy digital infrastructure, AI and Sustainability 3. Health 4. (e-) Government. Closing panel moderated by Steffi Buchli, Ringier, with Marc Walder, Ringier, and Pietro Supino, TX Group, about collaboration, success and diversification of traditional media in the age of digital disruption. My 5 cents: Maybe the media experience the same as the telco&tech industry experienced over the past decades: The less it costs the better it gets. asut - Schweizerischer Verband der Telekommunikation

Will AI replace us? I am proud to be able to look for an answer to this question together with renowned experts at a conference at the Evangelische Akademie Tutzing from 1-3 November. Will AI replace humans, or does it threaten their humanity? I am eager to hear your opinion on this. https://lnkd.in/dyyAuVgi

Recently I caught up with partners and clients during my business trips.  One thing became abundantly clear: everyone's eyes are on #fibre optics. Analyzing the insights and direction of thoughts of my interlocutors, I concluded that this topic is hyped for several reasons: - Fibre offers ultra-fast, reliable connections for homes and #businesses, perfect for streaming, working, and gaming. - Fibre seamlessly connects all your smart #devices, thermostats, cameras, you name it. - Smart AI helps maintain the #network, fixing issues before they happen. - More areas will have access to fiber optic connections. This includes places like bustling cities, suburban neighborhoods, and even rural communities. Some thoughts here: https://lnkd.in/dGE5s5dy

Only managed a half day visit, but it has been a great event by #ADL in Munich today - the 9th Executive #IOT Technology event. Great round of attendees... everyone there from AAA customers for IOT services and solutions as well as IOT providers. IOT is out there, it's real, live and happening. But it's still from a provider and customer point of view fragmented. This we have to overcome. With IOT solutions we can save people's lives, track animals 🐬(even if a 🐮 is about to give birth) and protect our forrest 🌲 . We can use it for connected cars 🚘 , augmented reality (personal assistants) or zero touch payment data exchange. Great things. Then double & triple redundancy is needed, which requires standardizing the value chain and overcome regulatory barriers in smart ways. Kudos for this to Erik Brenneis Has also been great to see 1nce with Arne Aßmann on stage. Very compelling growth story that he shared with us and the reasons behind the 1nce success (I have been close to them as BoD member). Logic: It's about software, fast scaling and easy-to-use offerings. Getting this up and running, is not an easy way, but if you really focus on customer needs and you can making it happen: Easy to order, easy to install, easy to self serve, no strings attached, focused on pure, fast, reliable and high-quality connectivity. Performance along many growth KPIs is truly impressive. 👍🤞 Would be great for the telco industry, if all the optimistic future scenarios in terms of exploding usage, global adaptation and ultimately value creation will come true. The potential is endless, but has not yet lived up to the expectations we all had. What does this mean? Well to be even more creative and push even more for it. So many use cases, so much opportunity, just means to have another go at making it happen... great things don't come easy :) 💪 So everyone that stayed on for the event in the afternoon: Hope you had even more time to network and listen to inspiring people.... and that you enjoy #Wiesn tonight to the max…. normally something I never miss, but this time I have to :)

How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming the Handelsblatt. 🤖 I have always wondered how to successfully integrate Artificial Intelligence (#AI) with the Handelsblatt? This question has been on our project team's mind for a long time, and together we developed and implemented a strategy to harness AI for future challenges. For over a year now, the Handelsblatt has been actively reporting on #AI. Our content has captivated many readers, and we have received overwhelmingly positive feedback. This inspired us to not only report excellently on #AI but also to actively utilize #AI technologies. We aimed to provide our readers and listeners with a high-quality channel to stay informed about economic topics. One of our biggest challenges was speech synthesis, which we successfully implemented. As for now, the Handelsblatt AI newsletter podcast is presented with a synthetic voice – the first AI product from the Handelsblatt! https://lnkd.in/eGPwREMr Thanks to the continuous feedback from our listeners, we have been able to improve the podcast steadily. This valuable feedback has helped us experience and apply a CRISP procedure on a large scale. This journey has shown us that we can not only write about AI but also actively implement it. Look out for many more innovative AI-driven digital products in the near future. Join us in the new media world by subscribing to #Handelsblatt and stay ahead of the game! 🌍 Thank you to my colleagues for making this possible and for being such great people to work with.

We claim Humanoid Robots will be convenience products latest by 2035. We generally apply the term “humanoid” to anything that resembles a human but is not human. As long as a head, a torso, two arms and two legs as well as an upright walk are included in the scope, the term humanoid is accurate in our opinion. According to Elon Musk, every household will have a humanoid household robot in 2050. Japanese, US and Chinese Humanoid Robots will be ready for mass market latest in 2030. Germany and Europe are actualy completely insufficient positioned to become relevant players. So we ask the questions: Where is the German industry, where are the large German and European manufacturers and OEMs, for example from the automotive sector, with their global production, sales and service ressources and networks? To provide information, training, guidance and consulting to european industries to catch up, we hereby present our assessment of the situation and development. Since 1985, I have been working personally and with my partner network successfully as a management and technology consultant and trainer in digital transformation. We follow the development of humanoid robots now for 15 years and have designed and realized professional presence and online trainings. You are welcome to contact us if you are interested in consulting, traininng, strategy workshops, market information, regulation, information security, types, evaluation of robotic technologies and providers, maturity levels of humanoid robotics and projectmanagement and support. Interested? You are welcome to contact us at [email protected] or visit my LinkedIn Profile an it's Posts and/or our Homepage www.dhub.de https://lnkd.in/e_wfrR7q
