Artificial intelligence, or AI, is changing how businesses work by making things faster and cutting costs. SAP, a big technology company, is using AI to make its software even better. They have this new AI tool called SAP Joule, which helps people do their work more easily by understanding what they say and learning from it. It keeps information safe and works well with other programs. Generative AI is another type of AI that can create new things like text or pictures, and it's really good at coming up with fresh ideas. SAP has been adding this kind of AI to its system to do many cool things, like writing job ads, helping factories run smoothly, and predicting what might happen in the financial world. To make sure people use this new AI well, SAP is teaching them how and keeping an eye on how it helps the business grow.
