SAP CEO Christian Klein asserted that artificial intelligence will not lead to the demise of software but will significantly transform existing jobs. He compared the current AI integration to the previous cloud transformation, framing it as a new 'mountain' for companies to climb.
“I I think that AI has to hit a wall at some point. We've seen great progress. Progress that's gone through many walls that people put up, or you know, presumed walls, and it's continued to build. But it can't keep going on this like this forever.”
“And then now we have to climb the AI mountain. And on this journey, there will be obstacles. Yeah, we have to overcome. AI has to overcome.”
