Interview with Prof. Dr. Gerard de Melo
Professor at the HPI and University of Potsdam, Chair of AI and Intelligent Systems 

In the interview, De Melo discusses how AI systems will fundamentally transform the way we work - intellectually as well as physically. He appeals for a holistic approach to AI in companies: It is far from sufficient for individual departments to use ChatGPT, he says. Rather, the corporate strategy as a whole should be designed to benefit largely from the many possibilities AI offers. Otherwise, companies run the risk of falling behind, he emphasises.
