Putting AI to work in companies
That was exactly what AI: made practical for you was about. Real use cases for AI in companies, an exchange between experts and enthusiasts, and impulses for applying it in your own organization. These were the talks:
AI for your success: putting the power of artificial intelligence to work today
Jobst von Heintze — aiio GmbH
Our own Jobst von Heintze opened, reminding participants how the use of AI applications in companies has developed. With a number of practical examples in his luggage, Jobst showed impressively how AI can already deliver practical, genuinely measurable value for companies today.
From efficient algorithms through to forward-looking concepts, Jobst laid out in an entertaining way how AI can already change any business today — so that our listeners could go on to make better informed decisions about where AI might be used in their own company.
A field report on digitalization: processes, improvement and AI at Euromobil
Sebastian Wellmann — Euromobil GmbH
Things continued with even more practice. Sebastian Wellmann of Euromobil took the audience on a fascinating journey of successful process improvement right across Germany. Faced with the challenge of capturing and harmonizing the workflows of hundreds of rental stations while also looking for improvements, his team mastered numerous hurdles. He described particularly impressively how the use of artificial intelligence delivered valuable insight at the decisive step.
Between theory and practice: AI in Germany — has the train already left?
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Schlesinger (HWR Berlin) — Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sebastian von Enzberg (HS Magdeburg-Stendal) — Lars Bendler (aiio GmbH)
After food, drink and friendly networking, the event closed with a highly engaging panel discussion: Prof. Schlesinger (chair of business information systems at HWR Berlin), Prof. von Enzberg (Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences) and Lars Bendler (aiio GmbH, Magdeburg digital and others) discussed the current state of artificial intelligence in the German economy together with the audience.
In doing so they pursued a number of pressing questions, among them:
Is the economy in Germany and in Saxony-Anhalt already hopelessly behind? Or is there still a chance to catch up?
In research and teaching, are we merely enjoying interesting theory while other countries celebrate practical successes and newly founded start-ups there too?
