SAP: Bringing the ‘Operating System’ of a Company into the AI Era with CTO Philipp Herzig

SAP CTO Philipp Herzig discusses the company's AI-driven transformation, focusing on three core pillars: generative UI, AI-native business processes, and a unified data layer. He explores the primary challenges to enterprise AI adoption—scale, data fragmentation, and security—while emphasizing the critical role of verifiability and "agent mining" in creating reliable, compounding value. Herzig also details the limitations of LLMs for predictive analytics on tabular data and introduces SAP's alternative, Relational Pre-trained Transformers (RPT1).

Zohar Bronfman discusses why current LLMs are not on a path to AGI, contrasting their combinatorial creativity with the transformational, domain-general intelligence of humans. He argues that predictive models, not generative ones, deliver the most business value and explains how his platform, Pecan AI, automates the critical data preparation bottleneck to democratize predictive analytics for all businesses.
