Qualitative interviews with SMEs in Saarland was compared to existing surveys done concerning AI. 20 interviews have been conducted in total and data from the surveys was analysed with an explaining methodology as a confirmatory research approach. Results of the empirical research show a lack of knowledge in both AI organizational implementation and the evaluation of existing job profiles impacted by AI. A two-pillar roadmap, consisting of Technology and People, is developed by taking existing evaluation models into account and developing an own AI implementation Canvas. This thesis is a contribution to the currently rarely discussed topic of AI in Saarland. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a new topic and has been researched since the 1940s.
