Smartening up with Artificial Intelligence (AI)- What’s in it for Germany and its Industrial Sector? 3 Preface Artificial intelligence (AI) is finally bringing a multitude of capabilities to machines which were long thought to belong exclusively to the human realm: processing natural language or visual information, recognizing patterns, and decision making. While AI undoubtedly holds great economic potential for the whole world, in this report we explain how and where AI will likely affect the German industrial sector by exploring several questions: Which subindustries are most strongly affected by the automation potential of AI? What are the most promising use cases? What are pragmatic recommendations for managers of industrial players planning to harness the power of AI? We describe several use cases in which we highlight the impact of AI and aim to quantify it. These use cases were carefully selected based on their economic potential and their ability to demonstrate the benefits of AI in practice. We do not claim that AI – despite its enormous potential – is the silver bullet for every business problem. We realize that AI is very often the enabler for performance improvements whose actual realization requires changing business processes. It is a rapidly evolving field. Thus, the present report needs to be understood as a peek into the future based on the current state of the art. With these caveats we are confident that this report will provide managers in the German industrial sector with valuable guidance on how they can benefit from AI. 4 5 Acknowledgements This study was conducted by McKinsey & Company, Inc.
