Establishing AI as a strategic resource for products

In 2022, the Innovation Seed "AI solutions in productive use" was launched at the Fraunhofer IAO. The aim of this network of five companies is to create a fundamental approach with which AI solutions can be integrated into product development and successively expanded as a strategic competitive advantage.  

The white paper "Establishing AI as a strategic resource for products - findings from an AI Innovation Seed of the AI Progress Centre" summarizes the ideas and results of the network project and aims to share the experience gained with other interested organizations. The white paper focuses on AI in the (further) development of products and the question of how AI can best be integrated into a company's established innovation process as an additional design element (strategic resource). Many findings and aspects from this publication can also be applied in companies that want to use AI in other areas of application, such as process improvement.
