Germany is not established as a provider of AI solutions and, in terms of the number of AI patents worldwide, lags behind leading countries by a considerable margin. However, academic research into artificial intelligence in Germany is regarded as being of high quality and German businesses are at the front of the field in Europe in the use of artificial intelligence. It is worth making efforts to improve Germany's position, as AI offers great potential for productivity increases, additional growth and support in overcoming challenges.
