SAP Urges Responsible, Relevant, Reliable AI for Enterprises
SAP says businesses should use AI in a careful and useful way.
AI should give relevant answers, use reliable information and be used responsibly.
Many companies are still testing AI in small projects.
Using it across an entire business is harder because information may be spread across different systems.
SAP says companies should connect their data and business processes step by step.
People should continue checking important decisions instead of letting AI work completely alone.
Some repetitive jobs may be handled by AI, but new jobs can also appear.
SAP believes India has strong talent for building and improving enterprise AI.
SAP executive Manish Prasad said enterprises must move carefully from AI pilots to end-to-end deployment.
He identified responsible, relevant and reliable AI as the foundation of SAP’s business AI framework.
Integrating siloed structured and unstructured data is essential for improving business KPIs and decision-making.
Prasad said AI will automate some repetitive functions while creating new roles for reskilled workers.
SAP is expanding its Indian engineering presence through an Innovation Campus in Devanahalli.
