Artificial intelligence can offer companies useful support in accounting, IT security and other areas. But there is also uncertainty.
In Germany, one in eight companies says they use artificial intelligence. That comes from one Survey published by the Federal Statistical Office.
Around 80,000 companies with at least ten employees were contacted. It turned out that larger companies with more than 250 employees in particular use modern technology more than small companies, with a share of 35 percent. Here only one in ten (10 percent) was using the new technology.
According to the answers, the most common areas of application are accounting (25 percent) and IT security (24 percent). Artificial intelligence is also used in production and service processes (22 percent) and in company administration (20 percent). Among other things, AI technologies are used for speech and text recognition.
However, many companies say they lack information and knowledge about the use of AI technologies. More than half of non-users (54 percent) fear about compatibility with their existing devices or are unclear about the legal consequences (51 percent). More than one in five of the previously hesitant companies (22 percent) do not believe the use of AI in their own business area makes sense.
