Gastkommentar: KI ist nach der Digitalisierung Deutschlands zweite Chance

Germany has neglected digitalization for too long, with consequences for competitiveness, productivity, and innovation. Artificial intelligence (AI) now offers a second chance. The problem until now has been the failure to quickly translate the knowledge of universities, highly skilled professionals, and strong industrial companies into software, digital business models, and scalable products.

Artificial intelligence helps to transfer complex expertise faster into applications. We are sitting on a mountain of knowledge that has not been utilized so far, which AI can make available on a large scale. German companies often use outdated software. This is particularly evident in software development. This gap becomes evident, especially in software development, as software has traditionally focused primarily on the development of physical products, and we have largely neglected digitalization.

AI fills this gap, as it makes software development faster and more accessible than ever before. With AI, anyone can program today. This marks the beginning of a monumental shift, and Germany belongs to the countries that can benefit the most from it.
