What is artificial intelligence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) can do more than create images and write texts. It is a collective term for systems and technologies that are able to take on complex tasks that would normally require human intelligence, i.e. to create images and write texts:
- Develop solutions to problems independently
- Learn new skills and knowledge
- Making informed decisions
AI can draw on experience, recognize patterns and optimize itself without having to be given explicit instructions. This is of great benefit in the corporate context, because: AI models are able to analyze large amounts of data at lightning speed and gain valuable insights from it. This gives you the opportunity to automate processes much more easily and quickly than before, make highly accurate predictions and complete complex tasks more efficiently than would be possible for a human.
These characteristics make AI perhaps the most important driver of digitalization.

How does AI work?
Artificial intelligence uses algorithms to learn from large amounts of data and specific examples, recognize patterns and correlations, derive rules and make decisions independently.
This enables precise and automated execution of complex tasks such as language processing or image analysis. Through repeated training, the AI adapts, improves its performance and can solve problems independently. In doing so, it imitates thought processes that reflect human intelligence and enables machines to react flexibly to changes.
In this way, AI can not only optimize existing processes, but also develop new solutions that were previously unthinkable.

Artificial intelligence in the company: In which areas does the use of AI make sense?
Corporate planning
Recognize patterns in your data with the help of artificial intelligence and create better predictions for the future. This all benefits sound corporate planning by enabling you to recognize trends and developments at an early stage and react accordingly.
Finance & Controlling
In the finance department, AI can significantly simplify accounting and controlling. Automated systems recognize data anomalies, identify possible fraud attempts, improve accounting and support the creation of precise financial reports. AI-supported algorithms are able to analyze large amounts of data to make predictions about liquidity bottlenecks or investment opportunities - enabling proactive financial management.
Production and logistics
With AI at your side, you can significantly optimize production and logistics by having AI models monitor the entire production process and generate fully automated status reports. This enables you to identify inefficient processes and eliminate weak points. With the help of predictive maintenance, AI can also prevent machine failures, support repair and troubleshooting measures and reduce maintenance times. In logistics, it ensures that supply chains are monitored in real time and recommendations for stock adjustments are issued automatically. This leads to greater delivery accuracy, lower storage costs and optimized route planning.
HR
In HR, AI can help to automate the screening of applications, create reports on sick days and absences and make the performance of different teams and employees transparent. This allows you to recognize at any time in which teams and areas there is a need for action and can initiate appropriate measures at an early stage.
Customer success management
Artificial intelligence can be used in CRM systems to personalize customer interactions and anticipate potential needs. This enables better customer loyalty and relieves your sales team - which can access the right information at the right time.
Excursus: AI vs. machine learning
- What's the difference?
The terms AI and machine learning are closely linked. Both technologies aim to make machines "intelligent", although their intended use and focus differ.
Artificial intelligence is the overarching term and encompasses all technologies that enable machines to perform human-like tasks. This includes everything from language processing and decision-making to image-based analysis. AI therefore pursues the goal of equipping machines with "brains".
Machine learning is a branch of AI that aims to give machines the ability to learn from data and improve themselves without the need for explicit programming. Machine learning is about developing algorithms that can recognize patterns from large amounts of data and make decisions or predictions independently.
Machine learning is therefore a tool that makes AI systems more powerful and flexible.
In practice, this means that while AI encompasses broad problem-solving capabilities, machine learning is specifically about developing these capabilities through the analysis and evaluation of data. In your business, you could use AI to automate and optimize a variety of tasks, while machine learning helps to continuously improve systems the more data they process.
AI can bring companies these 5 benefits:
- Noticeable increase in efficiency: By using AI, you can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, which relieves your employees and frees up valuable time for strategic tasks.
- Improved decision making: AI-powered systems analyze large amounts of data and provide you with insights that enable you to make better, data-driven decisions.
- Lightning-fast analyses: AI makes it possible to analyze huge amounts of data in seconds, giving you immediate insights into important business areas. This is a decisive advantage, especially in time-critical situations.
- Precise evaluations and future forecasts: Thanks to modern algorithms, AI delivers exact results and minimizes human error during evaluation. AI models use historical data and patterns to accurately predict future trends.
- More flexibility: With AI-supported systems, you can react more quickly to market changes and adapt your processes dynamically. This flexibility makes your company more resilient.
Common challenges
in the use of AI for companies
Yes, the use of artificial intelligence offers many opportunities, but it also brings with it some challenges that you should be aware of:
- Implementation is often complex and time-consuming: The introduction of AI solutions requires extensive technical knowledge and thoughtful implementation. Many companies fail to seamlessly integrate AI into existing systems and processes, which makes the transition difficult and can lead to delays.
- The introduction of AI is often associated with high costs and resources: To make it possible to implement AI in a company, a certain amount of effort is required, whether for the necessary infrastructure, employee training or the development of technical solutions. This poses problems for small and medium-sized companies in particular.
- Your teams should be ready: The introduction of AI often requires a cultural change. It is therefore essential that you get your employees on board. Without the right communication and support, there may be resistance that jeopardizes the success of the implementation.
- The use of artificial intelligence in the company comes with a high level of responsibility: the use of AI in the company must be in line with ethical standards and data protection regulations. When processing personal data in particular, you must ensure that you comply with legal requirements and do not jeopardize the trust of your customers.
- Everything stands and falls with data quality and availability: high quality and consistency of historical data is essential for the success of AI. Unfortunately, many companies struggle with incomplete or unstructured data, which makes the efficient use of AI impossible. At this point, we recommend developing a solid data strategy as a first step in order to create the basic prerequisites for the integration of artificial intelligence.
3 tips for the integration
of AI in your own company
- Set clear strategic priorities: Before you integrate AI into your company, you need to identify the areas that promise the greatest benefit in your case. Focus on the processes that have a direct impact on your business planning, reporting and process optimization.
