But in general, this is still not so common. If our Suppliers will provide input data in the electronic exchange formats – which we can integrate with our systems, then we have no problems.

In the previous Article Using Ariba for getting Supplier inputs for the calculation of the Greenhouse Gas emissions | SAP Blogs I have elaborated few concepts of getting Supplier data inputs relevant for ESG reporting. In fact, I do find AI to be very useful for many applications, and in this article, I am exploring one possible use-case of AI – using AI to support ESG data acquisition and thus accuracy of the overall ESG reporting. Some would even argue – there is no such thing as an “Artificial Intelligence” – there is only “Intelligence” or “no Intelligence”… But this article is not the debate of what AI is – this is not the topic I want to cover. An “Artificial” Intelligence is (still), in its essence, build by humans, and run on some electronic “circuits”. Why am I using an image of the electronic circuits, when talking about something so “new” and “modern” like AI?ĪI is as smart as we build it. *) Photo by Christian Wiediger on Unsplash
