Episode #58 | David Pontoppidan | SAP and Deliberate AI
In this episode of <i>The Only Constant</i>, Lasse Rindom speaks with David Pontoppidan, Head of Business AI for Nordics & Baltics at SAP - a mind as sharp as the systems he builds. The conversation dives into how SAP is embedding AI across its enterprise suite, not just as a bolt-on, but as part of a deeply integrated, multi-agent architecture. Together, they explore:<br /><ul><li>Whether AI in ERP is truly transformation - or just lipstick on a pig</li><li>How SAP's knowledge graph and semantic data layers redefine what agents can <i>actually</i> do</li><li>The tension between standardization and customization in AI-powered enterprise processes</li><li>Why slow decision-making isn’t always bad - and sometimes necessary</li><li>The philosophical and political implications of AI, from entropy to biopolitics, norms, and truth</li><li>How jazz, entropy, and citizen developers all make surprising cameos in the future of enterprise tech</li></ul>This one goes deep - from practical ERP use cases to Foucault, Habermas, and the nature of truth in AI governance. A must-listen for anyone trying to steer technology in a world where we need to define not only what we can do - but what we <i>won’t</i> do. <br /><br /><b>Do you want to know more about David Pontoppidan:</b><br />David Pontoppidan is the Head of Business AI for SAP across the Nordics & Baltics, guiding some of the world’s leading organisations to turn AI investments into hard-currency value. Known for his sharp analogies and the occasional pop culture reference, David helps executives trade “Artificial Ignorance” for data-driven decisions that actually move the P&L. <br /><br />A former army language officer turned management-consultant-turned-tech strategist and executive, David blends his background in behavioural economics and sociology with deep business insight as he completes an Executive MBA in Finance at Copenhagen Business School.
