SAP Urges Software Firms to Go All-In on AI!

At Wave by Vento in Turin, SAP's chief AI strategy officer Sean Kask emphasized the necessity for software companies to fully embrace AI, warning that those who don't risk extinction. SAP's recent acquisition of Prior Labs for over €1bn aims to bolster their AI capabilities, particularly in tabular models. These models can make vital predictions using structured data, which Kask argues is crucial for business value. SAP is committed to keeping Prior Labs independent while allowing innovation. Kask advises against Europe chasing large language models, favoring models that enhance usability. SAP's ecosystem generates impressive returns for partners, underscoring its pivotal role in integrating AI solutions.
