A blog on Innovation and Artificial Intelligence
GPAI Innovation Workshop
GPAI Innovation Workshop Last week I attended the GPAI Innovation Workshop in Montreal. Representatives from member countries and selected experts from GPAI came together to discuss future topics and projects. It was an interesting and intense two-day workshop....
GPAI 3 year review
A little more than three years ago, in the summer of 2020, I received a surprising call from the German Federal Ministry of Economics.
KI-Allianz

Writing or Dictation
What’s the Best Way to Generate Text (with a little help from AI)?
I am not very good at typing on a keyboard. Writing text this way is slow – but I have been used to it for a long time.
What about dictating the text and having an AI tool do the transcription (speech-to-text)?
Generative AI
Is it hype? Definitely!
Maybe 2022 will be seen similarly to 2012, when Alexnet made the breakthrough for image recognition with AI. This was the beginning of the exponential development of machine learning in the last 10 years. And 2022 could be a similar moment, this time through developments in the field of Generative AI.
Transformers
Do you know Bert?
Not from Sesame Street. Google’s BERT.
BERT was one of the first Large Language Models (LLMs) and a breakthrough for the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability
The climate catastrophe is the greatest challenge facing humanity. But it is not enough to focus on solutions for this challenge alone.
We must achieve sustainable development.
AI will (have to) play a crucial role in this. Complex questions with lots of data are ideal conditions for the use of AI. There is more than enough of that here.
AI and Climate
The “problem” of climate change can no longer be “solved”.
Artificial intelligence (AI), or more specifically machine learning, is perhaps the most important technology available to us in this situation.
We are living in the AI century
But for many people and organizations it does not feel like we are living in the AI century
AI adoption is here but is not evenly distributed.
SAP Anniversary
SAP celebrates its 50th birthday. What a success story.
I am proud to have contributed to it in my almost 20 years at SAP.
