Europe should focus on industrial AI, SAP says

Europe should focus on competing in industrial AI, a top executive at German software giant SAP said, as the continent plays catch-up in the race for the cutting-edge technology against the United States and China.

Artificial intelligence for use in industry is “where I believe Europe can succeed big time around the globe”, Thomas Saueressig, a board member at the continent’s biggest software maker, told AFP in an interview.
