CMU Faculty Brings Human-Centered AI Strategy to SAP

Central Michigan University faculty member Gustav Verhulsdonck worked directly with SAP teams on human-centered AI strategies. His sessions centered on three pillars: oversight, trust, and real-world application. Cmich reported the engagement as a faculty-to-enterprise knowledge transfer.
Enterprise AI adoption stalls when capability outruns organizational trust. SAP operates at scale across global business workflows. Bringing in academic expertise on human oversight signals that even large software vendors recognize the gap between deploying AI and getting workers to rely on it.
Watch whether this model, faculty as AI readiness consultants to enterprise teams, becomes a repeatable channel. The question is not whether SAP can access AI capability. The question is whether its teams will use it in ways that hold up under real operational pressure.
