      Generative AI: Where we stand today and what lies ahead

      Germany and Europe have strong AI expertise. The key question is whether this expertise can be translated into scalable applications, viable business models and measurable effects. Experts discuss how this can be achieved today and take a look at the future of AI.

      AI in action: From concept to agent

      When it comes to AI, what matters less is what is technically feasible and more what works reliably in everyday life. Between prototype and scaling lie costs, integration and responsibility. Experts discuss where AI agents create added value today – and where their limits lie.

      AI in taxation: Tax leadership takes charge

      The control function is highly regulated, data-intensive and prone to errors – and the demands placed on AI are correspondingly high. We determine where its use is technically sensible, legally viable and practicable.

      AI as a risk: special investigations under increased pressure

      AI increases efficiency, but also lowers the barriers to deception and manipulation. Fake invoices, emails, and reports are now almost impossible to detect. We explain how the threat landscape is changing and how companies can protect themselves.

      Further insights on the topic of AI

      One of the topics of discussion in this edition of KPMG RealTalk is the KPMG CEO Outlook 2025. The study shows that German CEOs' growth expectations have fallen further and are also below the international average. At the same time, strategic momentum is high. Despite the polycrisis, companies are making targeted investments, particularly in artificial intelligence and potential acquisitions.
