Teardata is still in Vantage. The vision here is to create a Cross-Engine Analytic Orchestration. New Analytics are important here, engines like a NewSQL Engine, a Machine Learning Engine or a Custom Engine. "But what is most important: you have to bring these engines together", emphasizes Brobst. "Data of all sources has to be supported. The Vision is to proivde the analytic platform!"

Most ideas about machines, AI and robots comes from Hollywood: "And really: I don't recommend believing that.", says Brobst. When will machines for example do a better job than humans in Financial Forecasting or HR recruitment? In these parts not so much effort has been done. 

But what about games like chess, tic tac toe or go? Machines can be better than humans in these games. When will AI exceed human performance? Full Automation of Labor won't be possible before the year 2136. But other things, like replacing a retail salesperson, will be possible in the next years.
