Artificial intelligence becomes operational – not just experimental

Artificial intelligence (AI) will finally leave the experimental phase in 2026. Companies will no longer use AI solely for analysis, but will integrate it directly into operational processes: - Automated customer communication - Intelligent process control - Predictions for maintenance, demand, and risks Crucially, the added value is not created by AI itself, but by clean data, clear processes, and a secure infrastructure. What companies should do: Start now to clearly define AI use cases and build the technical foundation (data quality, cloud architecture, security).
