AI as a value driver in a global economy

Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in the modern economy. Not only because AI is revolutionising numerous industries through automation, increased efficiency and innovative solutions, but also because AI systems are faster and more accurate than humans when it comes to making informed business decisions. This leads to cost savings and improved services.

  • Fundamentals and concepts of artificial intelligence (AI)
  • Case studies on successful AI implementations in various industries
  • The importance of data for AI models: collection, processing and use in companies, as well as proven best practices
  • Framework for selection decisions: operating your own AI models vs. using existing AI models
  • Identifying and solving business problems with artificial intelligence
  • Ethics and data protection in the development and application of artificial intelligence in companies

 

Additionally: Become part of the EBS network and participate in regular events to exchange ideas about artificial intelligence and stay up to date!

Need for change

Why we must take action

Artificial intelligence will have a more profound impact on humanity than fire, electricity and the internet.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet

AI is becoming essential for business success

The demand for AI expertise is growing steadily as companies increasingly recognise the benefits of automation and efficiency gains through AI. Our programme helps you seize these opportunities and increase your competitiveness by providing you with practical knowledge and skills to successfully implement AI in your business.

Leveraging strategic competitive advantages

With AI-powered analytics, they can identify market trends early on, better understand customer behaviour and make informed strategic decisions based on this information. This enables companies to respond more agilely to change and stand out from the competition.

Enabling transformational leadership

AI technologies automate routine tasks and free up managers to focus on important strategic and human aspects of their work. With a deep understanding of AI, managers can redefine their role and devote more time to motivating, developing and supporting their employees. 

Ensuring ethical and responsible use of AI

The use of AI brings with it ethical challenges and risks, particularly with regard to data protection, fairness and transparency. Managers need to understand and be able to manage these aspects in order to ensure the responsible use of AI in their companies. They are required to develop ethical guidelines, ensure compliance with them, and anticipate and minimise the potential negative effects of AI systems.
