One out of every three businesses incorporates artificial intelligence, according to Bitkom.
In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, Germany is positioning itself as a leading AI hub in Europe. According to a recent study by AWS, "Unlocking Germany's AI Potential 2025," German companies are planning to increase their investments in artificial intelligence by 29 percent by the year 2025. This trend is reflected across various sectors, from automotive to mid-sized companies and startups.
The study reveals that the majority of companies (81%) consider Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the most important future technology. While a narrow majority of 51% believe that companies without AI usage have no future, only 17% view AI as a passing fad. This suggests a widespread understanding of AI's transformative potential.
However, the road to AI adoption is not without challenges. Approximately half (53%) of companies lack the technical know-how for AI implementation, and 53% cite legal uncertainties as a barrier. Furthermore, 51% of companies experience staff shortages as a barrier to AI adoption.
Despite these challenges, the vast majority of companies (83%) see AI as an opportunity for their own company. Most companies use AI in specific areas, with a quarter only using one application. The main areas of AI application are customer contact (88%) and marketing and communication (57%).
Interestingly, US-American AI providers are the second choice for 51% of companies, with 93% of companies preferring German AI providers. This preference for local solutions could be a strategic move to ensure compliance with the European AI Act, which 56% of companies view critically, stating it creates more disadvantages than advantages for German companies.
As Germany forges ahead in the AI race, it's clear that the country is committed to building a sustainable and secure AI ecosystem. For more insights, visit ct.de and Peertube.
