Meet Jonathan Von Rueden, SAP’s Chief AI Officer, and hear how SAP Business AI is designed to create real value across your business. In this coffee-style conversation, Jonathan explains why SAP can deliver out-of-the-box AI value through managed capabilities embedded directly into SAP products, so customers get the latest innovations without the burden of maintaining separate tools.

He also shares what he’s hearing from customers: they want AI where work already happens. That is why SAP continues to embed AI across the suite and evolve the user experience through Joule, which has grown from a conversational assistant into an AI-native personal assistant that helps users access and act on information across their business.

He closes with what he’s most excited about this year, including more generative experiences in day-to-day work and major productivity gains.
