  "account": "BMW is planning to transform into a \"KI-orchestriated company\" within two years, with the goal of utilizing artificial intelligence (KI) to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The company's procurement department, led by Nicolai Martin, is at the forefront of this transformation, with plans to use KI agents to automate and optimize procurement processes. The project, known as \"Operating Model 3.0\" (OM 3.0), aims to save billions of euros and improve the resilience of supply chains. BMW has already developed several KI agents, including \"Mr. Flexibility\" and \"Ms. Resilience & Risk Management\", which are being used to support procurement and risk management tasks.",
  "summary": "The Munich-based automaker wants to be a \"KI-orchestrated company\" from 2028. What this means is shown in purchasing. Autonomous agents will work there in the future.",
