GenAI is powerful, but it isn’t a panacea. Now is the time to invest in learning what GenAI can and cannot do.   Last quarter, HFS Research hosted a groundbreaking roundtable event, generously sponsored by Movate, where we explored the transformative potential of GenAI for simplifying the lives of both customers and employees.   Our research paper, "Use GenAI to make life easier for your employees and customers," encapsulates the key insights from this illuminating session. Download it here: https://lnkd.in/gFUAJ8gf   Let's prioritize making things easier for customers and employees. With GenAI, we can streamline processes, enhance customer experience, and empower employees.   #GenAI #CustomerExperience #EmployeeExperience #Innovation #Simplicity #HFSResearch #Movate Melissa O'Brien, Phil Fersht, Saurabh Gupta, Emma Melando, Elena Christopher, Aditi AK, Aubrey H., Steve Dunkerley

Digital Transformation is 95% people, 5% technology. In our digital age, leveraging data, analytics, and AI is no longer a "maybe", it's a must for staying competitive: things such as making informed decisions (not only using our gut feelings), optimizing processes, personalize customer experiences or super-charge our colleagues are just at the top of the iceberg. Data empowers people. I had the privilege to be part of a dynamic data strategy workshop alongside incredible colleagues at RENOLIT Healthcare Solutions, in the charming town of Enkhuizen. We explored ways to leverage data analytics, (Generative) AI, Digital Twins and more to gain valuable insights and make smarter decisions. And we are already walking some of those paths! The workshop was full of positive discussions, and it highlighted the potential data holds to revolutionize (for the better) the way we work: ·        The importance of aligning our data strategy with our overall business goals, focusing on measurable outcomes. Data must serve customers and employees, not the other way around! ·        The power of data analytics to unlock hidden insights and drive smarter decision-making: data IS a game-changer! ·        The exciting potential of (Generative) AI to automate tasks and free up our teams to focus on strategic initiatives: work smart vs work hard (I’m sure you’ve heard of it!) Whereas the workshop acknowledged the good and solid foundation we have built so far, it left me feeling optimistic about the future.: What incredible things could (and will) we achieve by unleashing the true power of data? Be bold, be passionate, and go for it! Dare! No idea is too wild, no goal is too ambitious! And with this team, we can’t simply go wrong!

What do BayFiD – Bayerns Frauen in Digitalberufen, KUKA and Silo AI have in common? Well, you will laugh if I tell you that the answer is: one #shared #network! Here is how the story goes: If Stefanie Wagner (BayFiD) had not introduced me to her boss Quirin Görz (KUKA) - and that happened during DLD Conference's AI Summit, I would have never met (or at least not for now!) Maria Judith G. Sanvicente and Peter Sarlin (Silo AI) 😎 - thank you so much Stefi and Quirin for such a valuable #contact. Let me tell you: This is exactly what building a #strongecosystem means- it is what makes baiosphere such a beautiful environment to be, such a #hotspot to create value within❗ The AI Community in Bavaria is growing day by day and the established #links one to another lead to #international #cooperation! "How do you bring in international partners?", Peter asked me - well, there it is: through #connecting the dots, that is how #community works in "AI-Bavaria" 😊 It was a pleasure to meet you Peter and Maria Judith G. :-) By the way: thanks a lot to Ursula Alexandra Ohliger, Science Manager at Bavarians AI Chair For Mathematical Foundations by Prof. Dr. Gitta Kutyniok - you always enrich every round with your #thoughtful contributions. Love this energy! #partnerships #ai #innovation #community #baiosphere
