Energized to present at SBOS Frankfurt 2025 on “Scaling AI in Banking: From Pilots to Impact.” A packed house, sharp questions, and a rich discussion reminded me just how pivotal this moment is for banking and financial services. We are at an inflection point: ·      AI and Generative AI are moving from pilots to enterprise-scale adoption. ·      Quantum Computing is on the horizon. ·      Technology-led reinvention is reshaping how banks deliver value, grow revenues, cut costs, manage risk, and reimagine operations. As productivity increases in every stage of the software development life cycle redefined by GenAI, the business model of the future comes into focus — one centered on customers, platforms, and ecosystems, with streamlined and optimized middle- and back-office operations. For banking leaders, three questions feel urgent: 1.    Are your strategies bold enough? 2.    Are you executing fast enough? 3.    Do you have the talent and partnerships to seize what’s next? The next 3–5 years promise extraordinary opportunities: better outcomes for clients, transformative growth for institutions, and exciting career paths for bankers. The future doesn’t just look bright — it’s arriving fast. 🌟 IBM Institute for Business Value Gemma Godfrey Paolo Sironi Robert Mercorella #GenerativeAI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIROI #FutureOfWork #BankingInnovation #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #FutureReady

Encouraging 🌟 That’s the word that best captures yesterday’s exchange with Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger and former Austrian chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel at Table.Briefings 🙌 ​ What became clear: there is collective excitement and broad support for Germany’s modernization and digitalization. Now we need to seize the momentum – across the public and private sector. We are in this together. I’m truly optimistic about what we can jointly achieve ✨ ​ The new opportunities with AI make this moment to leapfrog into our digital future: 💡 Applied AI is key to competitiveness – Europe must harness its strengths in software, processes and industry-expertise to secure its global position.​ 💡 AI strengthens our ability to act – when applied pragmatically, AI can make administration and industry future-ready: boosting efficiency, closing skills gaps, and unleashing European innovation.​ 💡 Digital sovereignty starts with software – true independence comes not just from servers, but from powerful AI software, integrated platforms, and trusted partners. SAP is committed, as underscored by this week’s announcements. ​ ​ The time for debate is over. The time for applied AI is now.​ ​ #DigitalFuture #Sovereignty #Germany

Ever wondered how AI and quantum fit together to classify medical images? 🔥 Fire up your inner geek with this cutting-edge research by our SAP colleagues jointly with Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and Aqarios.    The researchers used parallel quantum annealing to train Boltzmann machines – a type of neural network that models complex probability distributions – for classifying medical images. By embedding multiple problem instances in parallel on a quantum computer, they reduced sampling time and achieved a 70% speed-up compared to previous approaches.   Why I think it matters?   ⚙️ Boltzmann machines could be used beyond healthcare – in manufacturing, predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, and data generation. ⚙️ Training quantum Boltzmann machines has been a major challenge – parallel quantum annealing could offer a promising way to scale. ⚙️ Quantum machine learning is evolving quickly. This research highlights one of many new directions that could make quantum AI more practical.   Curious about your thoughts and ideas!

Last week at the Axel Springer #aisummit25 in Berlin, one message was clear: AI MUST move from vision to value. Scaling AI is key – the fuel for the AI engine is data: reliable, context-rich, and trusted data, that is, with quality over quantity. Here, Europe can lead the way by providing sectoral data spaces and small data rooms, harmonizing and setting clear standards, helping companies, specifically SMBs to close gaps. The Data Act and Data Governance Act are strong foundations. We now need simplification, interoperability and quick ways for SMBs to join in. Thank you Axel Springer for bringing politics and business together to discuss #AIandData. A strong step toward shaping Europe’s digital future.
