Up or out? A career with AI as a companion
How can you utilise AI if you haven't tried it? Get an insight into the opportunities Artificial Intelligence can create in companies and organisations here and now.
By CBS Executive Education"AI will not replace you"
There's no denying it: AI will be a part of your work life. So how can you make it benefit you, your career and your company?
For this CBS Executive Education event, lifelong learners visited CBS' campus to learn more about how AI will influence their professional lives and how to use it to their advantage. To enlighten them on these topics, three speakers from both the research and business world shared their knowledge.
Copenhagen Business School Professor Jan Damsgaard spoke on assessing AI's contribution (and limits) to your career, exemplifying it as a new colleague that you help gain the competencies to excel.
From FTFa, Kasper Højvang Kyed presented a case on Jobmakker.dk, an AI that can help users draft a written application based on their CV and the job opening. Not only has Jobmakker.dk been a successful endeavour for the unemployment insurance fund, but it's also had positive benefits for the organisation and employees.
Lastly, Mette Louise Kaagaard, the CEO of Microsoft Denmark & Iceland, spoke on Microsoft's new CoPilot function: from how she uses it on a daily basis to the adaptability and usefulness of it for anyone in their work life.
The talks were followed by a Q&A session, where the audience asked questions on topics ranging from data security to AI implementation from a leadership perspective.
