AI-readiness self-check

Ten questions, five minutes, no registration: a first orientation on how ready your company is for AI – in terms of data, governance and data sovereignty. This check is no substitute for consulting; it shows what you should talk about first.

Part 1: Data maturity & foundations

  1. A01

    Do you know which of your data is structured and current enough to serve as a knowledge base for an AI?

  2. A02

    Are the permissions in your repositories (SharePoint, file server) clean enough that an AI only surfaces what the respective user is allowed to see anyway?

  3. A03

    Do you know which public AI tools your employees already use – and what data is being entered there?

  4. A04

    Is there a concrete use case with measurable value that you would tackle first?

  5. A05

    Is your infrastructure (network, cloud connectivity, your own servers where applicable) prepared for AI workloads?

Part 2: Governance & data sovereignty

  1. B01

    Have you assessed which obligations the EU AI Act triggers for your use of AI (transparency, your role as provider or deployer)?

  2. B02

    Is there a binding policy on which data may be entered into public AI services – and which may not?

  3. B03

    Must certain data stay in-house, or at least in Germany, for data-protection or confidentiality reasons?

  4. B04

    Are your employees trained on the possibilities and limits of AI (AI literacy under Art. 4 AI Act)?

  5. B05

    Is it clear who in the company is responsible for AI use and governance?
