Objectives

  • Get an overview: You will gain insights into the development history of AI, its current state, and future. You will recognize the difference between "narrow" and "general" AI and understand the relationship between AI and machine learning – an essential step in your digital upskilling.
  • Supervised and Unsupervised Learning: You will understand the differences between supervised and unsupervised learning. You will learn how to divide data into groups (clustering), recognize unusual patterns (anomalies), select suitable models, and create prediction models (regression).
  • Deep Learning: You create your first neural network and train a model.
  • AI and algorithms: You learn what is and is not controllable and how the interaction between humans and machines (HCI) is developing.
  • Opportunities and risks: You correctly assess the possibilities and challenges of AI and machine learning in a business context.
  • Explore business applications: You discover business applications for AI focusing on sustainability.
  • Develop an evaluation matrix: You create a customized evaluation matrix as a starting point or orientation for your business-relevant project, product, service ,or experience.

About the workshop

Artificial intelligence (AI) is used today in a wide range of companies in almost every industry worldwide. However, the term AI is often used in a general way that does not consider the various facets of the technology. Experts consider visual computing, natural language processing, speech recognition, image analysis, and robotics part of artificial intelligence, alongside machine learning and deep learning. Ten years ago, only 12 companies worldwide used AI, but today, thanks to the rapid development of computing power, it is easier to imagine daily business with it.

The application areas for AI applications are diverse: they range from data analysis and process automation to chatbots to AI as an essential component of new digital business models and language processing. AI is also used as a feature in products and services, which raises the question: How much AI does a product or service need?

In addition to AI's technical development and possibilities, the focus is currently on topics such as the sustainability of the technologies and models used, which represent a major challenge for implementation. This master class is not only about the basic technology of AI but also about current and possible application scenarios in the corporate environment.

 

Day 1: On the first day, we will cover the basics of artificial intelligence. You will learn about the history of the development of AI, gain insights into the theory, and become familiar with important terminology. After that, we will move directly into practical applications: You will take a look at development environments and current AI models that you can then apply and adapt yourself.  

Day 2: On the second day, the focus is on using AI in companies. You will learn how companies can benefit from these technologies. Using case studies, we discuss how AI can contribute to process optimization, improve existing products, and create new services.  

Finally, we will examine the future of artificial intelligence. What trends are present today? What can we expect in the future? We will also examine the significance of these developments for companies, society, and the environment and which digital upskilling strategies are necessary to keep pace with these changes.
