A representative survey of 605 companies with more than 20 employees in Germany, commissioned by the digital association Bitkom, shows that only 2 percent of respondents consider Germany to be the leading nation internationally in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
Nevertheless, 25 percent of respondents rate German companies among the world's leaders in AI research.Bitkom President Dr. Ralf Wintergerst emphasizes Germany's long presence in AI research and the outstanding scientists in the country. However, he urges greater use of these strengths for marketable AI solutions.Wintergerst points out that AI is a cross-sectional technology and requires a broad application base in industry.He also criticizes Germany's restrictive rules on the use of non-sensitive data, which would hinder the development of AI.
The survey results show that currently 41 percent of companies see the U.S. as the leading nation in AI, followed by China with 23 percent.Japan, Israel and Taiwan are well behind at 7 percent, and 4 percent each.The forecast for 2030 looks similar, with 38 percent of companies seeing the U.S. as the leader, 25 percent seeing China, and only about 1 percent seeing Germany.
Bitkom's upcoming Big-Data.AI Summit on September 20 and 21, 2023, in Berlin will address concrete applications of AI in companies, best practices, cross-industry strategies, industry-specific solutions, technologies, trends and societal challenges in the field of AI.
Microsoft has taken a significant step to increase business efficiency by introducing Microsoft Azure ChatGPT. This innovative solution enables organizations to seamlessly integrate ChatGPT into their internal networks. This development promises to streamline workflows by leveraging ChatGPT's capabilities, including code correction and content editing.
Microsoft has released Azure ChatGPT as an open source project on GitHub and provides private Azure hosting for this purpose. This approach makes it effortless for companies to integrate ChatGPT, especially those already using the Azure platform.
ChatGPT, the AI-driven language model that has garnered global attention, is now a critical tool for professionals around the world. Its applications range from boosting productivity to being used as a creative assistant. The enterprise variant of ChatGPT, offered through ChatGPT on Azure Solution Accelerator, mirrors the familiar user experience and is deployed as an exclusive internal resource.
Detailed instructions for deploying Microsoft Azure ChatGPT can be found in the GitHub repository and provide a comprehensive guide to installation and deployment.
Leveraging the benefits of Microsoft Azure ChatGPT.
According to the developers, the adoption of Microsoft Azure ChatGPT offers multiple benefits for organizations looking to streamline their operations.
Among the key benefits are:
Privacy guarantee: Microsoft Azure ChatGPT has robust privacy safeguards that ensure sensitive information remains secure and isolated from external entities such as OpenAI.
Advanced Control: Enterprises gain full control over network traffic and can restrict interactions to their internal network.In addition, the integration includes enterprise-level security measures for comprehensive protection.Increased value: The solution enables organizations to derive additional value from internal data sources by enabling seamless integrations.Customizable plug-ins facilitate integration with on-premises services such as ServiceNow, fostering an ecosystem that meets the unique needs of the organization.
Adding value: The solution enables organizations to derive additional value from internal data sources by enabling seamless integrations.
Customizable plug-ins facilitate integration with on-premises services such as ServiceNow, fostering an ecosystem that meets the unique needs of the organization.
The Microsoft Azure ChatGPT initiative represents a notable step toward harnessing the potential of AI for internal workflows. By introducing an enterprise-centric variant of ChatGPT, Microsoft is not only aiming to increase productivity, but also provide organizations with a customized, controlled and private AI experience that meets their operational needs.
As the business world evolves, technologies like Microsoft Azure ChatGPT are becoming integral tools for companies looking to stay ahead in the competitive landscape. With the solution's flexibility, security, and integration capabilities, businesses are given the opportunity to unlock new potential in their efforts.
For companies looking to optimize their operations using the power of AI-driven voice processing, Microsoft Azure ChatGPT proves to be a compelling solution that offers privacy, control and value enhancement in one comprehensive package.
In terms of technology adoption and innovation, German startups play a decisive role, as a recent study by the digital association Bitkom shows. The survey of 203 technology startups from Germany makes it clear that artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data occupy the top positions. Currently, 53 percent of the startups surveyed use Big Data and data analytics, while 49 percent rely on AI. These trends are expected to continue to grow as they top the list of technologies that startups are considering - 39 percent are thinking about adopting AI, and 31 percent intend to use Big Data and data analytics.
Compared to the overall economy, startups clearly set themselves apart from established companies. Across the economy, only 15 percent are using AI, while another 25 percent have plans to use it or are discussing it. For data analytics, the share in the overall economy is 39 percent, and for discussions about it, 37 percent.
Bitkom President Ralf Wintergerst welcomes this development and predicts that startups will help make AI and Big Data more accessible to small businesses and SMEs. He emphasizes that these technologies will not only be used, but also further developed to bring new products and services to market.
To promote the spread of AI applications from the startup sector, Bitkom points to the AI voucher for small and medium-sized enterprises envisaged in the German government's startup strategy.
In addition, technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G and 3D printing are emerging on the startup scene.However, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), blockchain and the metaverse are still in the development and discussion phase.While only 8 percent of startups are currently using VR/AR, 22 percent are planning or discussing its use. The situation is similar for Blockchain, which is used by 5 percent of startups but planned or discussed by 22 percent.For the Metaverse, 3 percent of startups are already users, while 15 percent are planning or discussing its use.
Wintergerst emphasizes that while technologies such as the Metaverse, VR/AR and blockchain have been discussed for some time, their breakthrough has yet to occur. Companies are encouraged to closely follow developments in the startup space and gain their own experience with these technologies early on.
Other technologies such as drones, robotics, autonomous driving and quantum computing play a lesser role in the German startup scene. Nevertheless, some startups are also discussing or planning future use here.
