Sramana Mitra: In that scenario, if SAP strikes a deal with Spotify and develops that intelligence and then sells it to a variety of retailers, and the retailers help enhance that model, and then if you go back and sell that enhanced model to every single retailer, that becomes a very questionable scenario.

Sramana Mitra: The Netflix example is not a right example, because Netflix is not a vendor that sells AI software to other people.
