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. Let`s talk! #cloud #digitalization #transformation #innovation Andreas Schleiter Lutz Pehl Stefanie Kampmann Dr. Jörg Günther Sandra C. Bauer Jürgen Lademann Steffen Legler Axel Rupp Bodo Windmöller Andreas Pfeil Ulf Tworeck David Pade Georg Rohleder Dr. Karsten Ballüder Marcus Madelung Frank Mueller Thorsten Heymann

🚀 Since the start of 2023, NVIDIA's stock has surged nearly 900% at its peak, driven by the unprecedented hype around AI. But where are we now in the GARTNER Hype Cycle? 🤔 Have we reached the "peak of inflated expectations"? Is an AI bubble looming, or worse—ready to burst? In my latest blog post, I explore these critical questions. While I expect a moderate correction, I don't foresee any major disruptions before 2025. Read more in my blogpost! 📈 Here'e some excerpts: The investments in AI are indeed enormous: Especially the big tech players, but also other companies, will spend over 1 trillion dollars (!!) on AI investments in the coming years (...) These costs are contrasted by relatively weak business models. The WOW effect users experience when generating texts, images, and music doesn’t translate equally into economic benefits for many providers. (...) In the recently published post AI’s $600B Question (06/20/2024) the author David Cahn of Sequoia Capital calculated that AI companies would need to generate $600 billion in revenue, to justify the current level of investment in data centers in order to put the current gap between investments and revenues into perspective. (...) However, the benefits (and commercial potential) of AI can already be seen in numerous areas. the AI scene is making major and minor progress throughout (...) My conclusion: At the beginning of August, META CEO Zuckerberg declared: “At this point in time, I would rather risk building up more AI computing capacity than necessary than be late”. It is the reality that new technologies are inherently unpredictable by their nature. No amount of forecasting or numerical analysis in the 1990s could have drawn a direct line from the early days of the Internet to applications such as Uber and Instagram. It is therefore not irrational to maintain high expectations of AI technology. And the following applies to this technology: It is a technology with a true game-changer character; both for the economic world and for geopolitics. No country of relevance can and does not want to afford to drop out of this technology race (or: marathon) at the moment: not China, not the USA, and not even Europe (with promising players such as Mistral and Aleph Alpha in the LLM sector). I have a bet with a colleague that the AI hype will last at least until Christmas this year (I’m standing by this bet), and I’m quite confident that I’ll win. #artificialintelligence #ai #technology #innovation #alphabet #meta #google #openai #ibm #newsletter #microsoft #future #news #sequoia #goldmansachs #TechTrends #Investment #GartnerHypeCycle Rico Knapper Daniel Poodratchi Kevin Engelke Andreas Kröber Melahat Elis Rohit Suseelan

When Harald Schirmer asked me to contribute to the first "Global Virtual Welcome Day" at Continental I spontaneously said "Yes" and then starting to think wbout: what?!.. And then more intensively, what shall I?!... What is interesting to know from the very beginning when starting a new job?! *** What would be the message to myself as a new hire?! 1️⃣ Your are wanted! When somebody is joining a new team, there have been a long journey before: raising the need for a new position, discussing and aligning on the profile, searching for best fit, etc, etc.. A team, an organization, a whole company wants exactly you to join forces with them! 2️⃣ You are not alone! As you are embarquing the new jouney, you might feel afraid of all the unknown stuff and ambitious golas might seem unrealistic. But you know what?! There are - in our case at Continental 200000 people willing to help and support! Just ask for support as you need! 3️⃣ You will become! Typically we are starting new jobs. What really starts - or continues - is not a job but rather a becoming process. We are growing beyond jobs, we might wish a job, what we really get is a wonderful gift of personal growth. *** I wish all colleagues joing Continental and the first Global Virtual Welcoming Day a wonderful journey ahead, our paths will certainly cross again! 🍀🧡

+++ LIVE FROM OMR 2024 +++ At OMR 2024, the SAP booth was buzzing with activity for two straight days, featuring 9 SAP partners and customers who showcased their innovative projects and solutions for SAP Customer Experience. Among the highlights was the NFT Hunt supported by the NFT Management by SAP team, which spearheaded an exhilarating NFT Hunt that kept visitors engaged throughout the entire journey at the booth. The NFT Hunt offered participants the chance to track down 9 unique NFTs, each unlocking rewards along the way. The more NFTs collected, the greater the likelihood of winning the raffle with its enticing prizes. This gamified approach not only drew attention but also fostered meaningful interaction with the SAP booth. Integral to the success of the NFT Hunt was the seamless integration of Emarsys, which facilitated the distribution of all NFT-related emails. This demonstration underscored the versatility and effectiveness of SAP's solutions in real-world scenarios. Fun fact: the background music in the video was AI-generated, we love it 🚀! In summary, the NFT Hunt at OMR 2024 was a testament to SAP's commitment to innovation and engagement. The event not only showcased the potential of NFTs but also demonstrated the power of collaboration and creativity within the SAP community. Love it? Reshare and spread the word! ❤️💪💥 SAP Customer Experience Ritu Bhargava Shardul Vikram Scott Young Anja Wilbert Lucas Bergström Deria Spalek Kai Stübane Aria Niazi Narek Asadorian Rohit Deshpande Wing Hin T.

❓❓ What can I believe ❓❓ The rise of (generative) #AI has opened tons of opportunities for us to ✅ augment our intelligence, ✅ get decision support, ✅ get help in discovering new insights and ✅ better interact with employees and consumers. However, unfortunately is has also opened a lot of opportunities for ❌ mis-use of the technology (which has happened to almost every technology before). #Desinformation is only one very severe possibility where AI can be used by people who deliberately want to deceive us 🤥, manipulate us 😮 and even want to influence elections 😤. Therefore, we are more than happy to join the "Bavarian Alliance against Desinformation" alongside many other tech and industry companies. Thanks to the Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Digitales and the Bayerisches Innenministerium for starting this initiative. Especially this year with so many elections - but in general always - it's really important to fight false information.

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
