New Ki White Paper: Opportunities and risks for building cleaners in focus!

Bundesinnungsverband des Gebäudereiniger-Handwerks, Deutschland - The Federal Guild Association of the Building Clas (BIV) has published a brand new information paper on artificial intelligence (AI), which is aimed at over 2,500 member companies. With this paper, the association wants to offer its members a clear overview of the most important aspects of AI in the company context. Not only basic terms, but also the opportunities and challenges that the strategic use of AI entails are explained. The goal is clear: the support of the members in the integration of AI technologies into their business processes. This comprehensive document was preceded by an association -internal workshop in which the members were actively involved in the topic. The BIV also draws attention to the fact that the security of critical infrastructure must be given a higher priority. Even if building service providers are not part of this infrastructure, data exchange with customers is in the room and thus carries the risk of cyber attacks. All the more important are the new information that also deals with relevant legislative projects in order to clarify companies about the necessary precautions. According to [verbaende.com] (https://www.verbaende.com/ki-white paperpaper-und-cybersecurity-information-erlaeutern-s-und-herfreuden/), this information is currently on the agenda.

But what role does the new regulation play in the EU, which is known as AI Act? The latest reports show that the EU has introduced a set of rules that regulates the use of AI tools in research and business. The AI Act distinguishes between high-risk and non-high-risk applications, whereby craft businesses typically do not fall into the high-risk category and thus have lower transparency obligations. This regulation is related to the experiences that the EU has gained from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and at the same time creates more freedom for the use of AI technologies in companies. Data -driven decisions should thus provide competitive advantages. Application fields could be, for example, the office organization, the creation of offers or material orders.

The challenges of the AI Act

We are already at the sticking point: artificial intelligence can not only save time and costs, but also carries risks, such as incorrect information or questions about copyright. The AI Act, which was adopted by the EU countries in May 2024, could become an administrative effort for many companies. In order to meet the basic requirements, the EU sets clear deadlines for implementation. This includes extensive requirements for high-risk ACI applications. New complaint options are also to be created with regard to consumer rights. The planned test laboratories for the development and training of AI show before the market launch that the EU wants to promote innovation. This can be seen primarily in the context that American and Chinese tech companies often play a pioneering role. The complex implementation of the AI requirements could be costly, but it is important to manage the risks and ensure high quality, according to the assessment of [kpmg.de] (https://klartenker.kpmg.de/was-der-eeu-ai-t-fuer- company

Another point that must be recorded: machines and robots benefit significantly from AI that can optimize your way of working. However, there is also a strict ban in connection with emotional detection and cognitive manipulation in order to protect the rights of employees. The possibilities that exist in the creation of tender documents or the generation of content for websites are also particularly interesting. However, users must make sure that they check the texts created for correctness and meet the corresponding transparency requirements.
