SAP sees stronger demand for AI services
Energy-efficient AI models signal growth opportunities for SAP’s services, says CEO Christian Klein.
SAP anticipates growing demand for its AI services as energy-efficient models become more accessible. The company’s CEO, Christian Klein, stated that advancements like China’s DeepSeek model signal a shift toward scalable AI infrastructure, which is crucial for running general AI systems effectively.
Klein emphasised the increasing competition in the AI landscape, suggesting that the market will feature multiple large language models rather than dominance by a single player. He noted these developments as positive for SAP’s position in the industry.
Despite recent volatility in technology stocks triggered by concerns over the profitability of AI investments, SAP remains optimistic. The potential of cheaper and more efficient AI systems could reinvigorate confidence in the sector, benefiting companies with robust AI offerings.
