With the rise of contemporary AI technologies such as GenAI into the workplace, new potentials but also challenges emerge for organizations. As these technologies significantly differ from previous digital technologies, managers need to develop new strategies on how to responsibly develop, implement, and use these AI technologies.
In this programme, we will build on evidence from our case studies and state-of-the-art academic research on how AI technologies are developed and used, through which you will gain a deep understanding of how AI technologies can be managed and what you can do to responsibly employ AI’s capabilities while preventing potential organizational risks and pitfalls. Moreover, our programs facilitates a unique setting for managers to learn from other organizations and their best practices as well as challenges.
