Artificial intelligence: experience of implementation, use and development prospects in Germany

The current stage of economic development of states is characterized by a new technological leap associated with the transition to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Among the innovations, a special place is occupied by the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in all spheres of society – from household appliances to industrial production, finance and medicine. Thus, artificial intelligence technologies have become one of the drivers of economic and social progress in the modern world, are important for solving complex problems and improving the quality of people’s lives, as well as for increasing the productivity and competitiveness of companies. In the course of the study, methods of analysis, synthesis, and classification were widely used in the study of the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence. In the course of studying the German experience of introducing and applying AI, methods of unity of historical and logical, analysis and deduction were used. This article pays special attention to the problem of the formation and development of artificial intelligence technologies using the example of one of the leading countries in this field – Germany. The historical experience of this country in the formation, implementation and application of AI in various industries and spheres of society is considered. The methods used in Germany to develop, stimulate and promote artificial intelligence technologies, create international alliances in this area, and apply forms of state regulation of the economy are studied. The prospects for the development of AI and its application in various sectors of the German economy are highlighted. An explanation is given for the powerful efforts of the country’s leadership in developing this area by the desire to take a leading place in Europe and the world. In conclusion, it is concluded that success in the development of artificial intelligence technologies in Germany has been achieved largely due to the symbiosis of efforts at all levels – government, business, the scientific community, and international cooperation. Therefore, a forecast is made for the expectation of further progress in the spread of AI in various spheres of life in German society.
