DataScience@BI invites Dirk Hesse

Abstract

The IT landscape is experiencing a seismic shift with the emergence of sophisticated Generative AI (GenAI) models, which are poised to revolutionize digital units across the board. For a Chief Information Officer (CIO), this necessitates a dual-focus approach: leveraging AI for adjacent innovation to enhance current operations, and embracing AI for radical innovation to redefine the business.

Adjacent innovation with AI promises to touch nearly every facet of IT organizations' functions. From automating code generation to streamlining IT operations, maintenance, and modernization, AI's influence extends to process optimization as well. This seminar will showcase tangible examples that highlight AI's capacity to refine and accelerate these areas, demonstrating the immediate benefits of integrating AI into existing IT frameworks.

When the conversation turns to radical innovation, the role of the CIO evolves significantly. It becomes imperative for CIOs to align closely with business leaders, blending their technical expertise with business acumen to identify and navigate areas ripe for disruption. GenAI models carry the potential to fundamentally alter the business landscape, and it is through a synergistic partnership between business and digital strategists that companies can both mitigate risks and seize new opportunities. This seminar will delve into how CIOs can be the architects of this transformative journey, guiding their organizations through AI innovation.
