AI Quality
Quality for AI extends beyond model accuracy. It includes context, permissions, evaluation, observability, escalation, human accountability and the impact of a wrong action inside a business process.
From global production programmes and platform validation to enterprise AI, agents and engineering excellence.
Software quality is not a new label added to Andreas' AI work. SAP Labs' executive support letter documents responsibility for production programmes covering mobile and database technologies, quality systems, KPIs, customer validation, regression and new-functionality testing, partner platform validation, product standards and release-readiness recommendations.
The same logic now applies to enterprise AI: innovation cannot be separated from the evidence that it is safe, useful, supportable and accountable in the process where it operates.

Automation creates speed when the organisation knows what must be proven. The objective is not maximum test volume; it is reliable evidence across the highest-consequence paths.
Assistants and agents need business context, governed data, clear tools and bounded authority. AI should improve a decision or workflow, not simply add a conversational surface.
Engineering excellence connects architecture, developer productivity, release readiness, security, supportability and customer validation into one operating system.
A transformation succeeds when the business changes how it decides and operates — not when a new technical platform reaches go-live.
Enterprise AI needs a new operating model, not another layer of automation.
