What opportunities does artificial intelligence (AI) offer small and medium-sized enterprises? What framework conditions favour its application in companies? In the current podcast "The rise of Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Opportunities for SMEs", internationally renowned entrepreneurship researchers present their research on how the use of AI in the economy can be increased.
In the current podcast "The rise of Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Opportunities for SMEs", internationally renowned entrepreneurship researchers present their research on how the use of AI in the economy can be increased.
The initiatives from the government are in the view of IfM President Prof. Dr Dr h.c. Friederike Welter (IfM Bonn/University of Siegen) extremely important to prevent the gap between global AI leaders and companies in Germany from widening further. Additionally, for instance, regarding ecological transformation, AI applications already play an important role for businesses today
According to a recent survey by IfM Bonn, the number of companies using artificial intelligence is increasing. However, less than a third of the surveyed executives believe that they actually benefit from the use of AI, reports Dr. Christian Dienes (IfM Bonn).
According to the research by Prof. Dr. Heiko Bergmann (University of St. Gallen), artificial intelligence can significantly help mitigate the effects of skilled shortages: "The results of our study indicate that, for example, start-ups that use AI require fewer employees. At the same time, they reach important milestones more quickly, such as securing initial funding." But it is challenging to distinguish between the AI-supported realization of cost-saving potentials and investor-related, supply-side effects that arise from the hype surrounding AI.
But not only in business enterprises but also in entrepreneurship research artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role, according to Prof. Dr. Jan-Philipp Ahrens (University of Duisburg-Essen). For example, AI can be used to calculate how sustainable family business are compared to management-led companies.
