Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential for significant improvements in efficiency and quality in different areas of a company. In this seminar we will give an introduction about the basics of AI, application examples from different areas (industry / manufacturing, finance, trade etc..), risks & regulations of AI and concrete steps for a successful AI strategy in your company.
The 1-day seminar is composed of 4 modules and a reflection session:
Module 1: Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
You will get a short introduction about the history of AI and learn the basic terms and concepts of AI. Furthermore, you will be introduced to the most important basic neural network architectures, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Transformer and Generative Adversial Networks (GANs) and important algorithms from the fields of image processing (object detection, face recognition, etc.) and text analysis.
Module 2: How AI is transforming the economy
You will get an overview of the current state of the use of AI in business, and learn about AI-based tools to increase efficiency such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and chatbots. You will also learn about AI use cases and success stories from a wide range of business sectors: Manufacturing & Production, Healthcare & Pharma, Finance / Insurance, Retail, Transportation / Logistics and Public Administration.
Module 3: Limits, Risks and Legal Aspects of AI
This module gives an introduction about performance, errors and limitations (domain gap, bias & fairness, ...) of AI models in practice. Furthermore, you will learn methods for better visualization and explanation of neural networks. Legal, ethical and security aspects of AI will be considered and an overview of planned EU guidelines and regulations will be given.
Module 4: Get started with AI
You will learn guidelines for a successful AI project in your company and the different phases / life cycle of an AI project. The different roles in an AI team will be presented and a checklist for the important decision "Build vs. Buy vs. Partner". Furthermore, you will learn the important steps to generate a training dataset and the aspects (software / hardware) of an AI infrastructure.
Reflection session:
In the interactive reflection session, we will discuss and elaborate together potential AI projects for your company.
