AiKompatibilität

AiKompatibilität, also known in English as AI compatibility, refers to the degree to which artificial intelligence systems can interoperate, share data, and collaborate effectively with other software, hardware, and organizational processes. The concept emerged in the early 2010s as AI adoption expanded across industries, highlighting challenges in integrating disparate machine learning models, data formats, and decision-making workflows. Key objectives of AiKompatibilität include ensuring that AI components can exchange information using standard data schemas, abide by shared security and privacy protocols, and adapt to evolving regulatory requirements. Implementations often involve application programming interface (API) specifications, modular microservices, and ontology-based data interoperability. In practice, AiKompatibilität is applied in fields such as autonomous vehicles, where vehicle perception systems must communicate with navigation and traffic management infrastructures, and in healthcare, where diagnostic algorithms need to integrate with electronic health record systems. The approach also supports ethical AI initiatives by allowing auditors to trace decision paths across multiple AI modules. Critics argue that extensive standardization may stifle innovation and impose costs on small developers, while proponents emphasize improved reliability, transparency, and scalability. Ongoing efforts by industry consortia, such as the AI Standards Working Group and the Open Neural Network Exchange, aim to establish common frameworks that foster AiKompatibilität, thereby accelerating responsible AI deployment on a global scale.
