AI for Business – Recognise the potential of your company and use it strategically

Certificate Programme

Registration Highlights Programme content Lecturer Key Facts Contact

Registration

Machine learning, disruption, fourth industrial revolution or blockchain are just a few terms we encounter in connection with artificial intelligence (AI). A much-discussed topic that has long since ceased to be a mere future trend and has already found application in many areas. Expectations of AI – sometimes perhaps also influenced by stories from science fiction – are high. The course focuses on current opportunities for companies, how companies can recognise and use their potentials in relation to AI. In order to implement the technology successfully, it is first necessary to find out what explicit benefits it can offer your company and your customers. It will also be discussed where the current limits of AI are and what impact AI will have on society and businesses in the future.

What to expect

To better assess the use and benefits of AI technologies in the business environment, you will learn about the current state of research and discuss in the group how artificial intelligence is applied. You will gain a deep insight into already realised AI projects from different areas (e.g. finance, automotive, pharmaceutical industry) and learn to evaluate the progress of digitisation in your own business area and to manage AI projects. This course will provide you with the necessary know-how to establish the interface to IT and make a competent contribution to the strategic orientation of your company.

  • 11 evening sessions each 1,5h and online
  • Individual support
  • Valuable networking within the group of participants

Programme content

If you plan to implement AI projects in your company and therefore want to understand the current possibilities of AI as well as identify the potentials of your company, the course will offer you insights and updates on current AI-related developments and trends. Examples from different industries will show you the potentials, but also the existing limitations of AI. But also for those who have already implemented their first projects, the course offers the opportunity to re-evaluate and to develop them further.
