The potential applications of artificial intelligence are diverse, and AI is also changing everyday work at savings banks, not least through solutions such as the S-KIPilot. At the same time, it is clear that for AI to deliver reliable benefits, more than just technology is needed for its successful use.

We support you in gaining orientation, structuring your approach, and classifying concrete examples for your savings bank—pragmatically and with a focus on implementation.

In our AI Coffee Break …

we classify the current AI developments for savings banks,
we show how the scaling of S-KIPilot can succeed in broad AI adoption,
we discuss how AI governance can be operationalized (roles, processes, guidelines),
look at further AI use cases for banks and give an outlook on trends for 2026,
and clarify questions in exchange with experts and colleagues.

This event is part of the “AI Coffee Break” event series – a compact format focusing on AI trends and applications. Over a cup of coffee, you will receive classification, practical ideas, and concrete next steps.
