Technical progress in the machine processing of language and media content has reached a new stage of development with large language models. These models can generate texts, images, sound, and videos using text inputs (prompts). These models and the systems based on them are referred to as generative AI systems. In addition to creating new content, generative AI systems can be used to analyse documents or data. Interaction with the generative AI systems occurs through various interfaces, such as a chat.

For organizations to maximise the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI), they must be able to scale AI throughout their organisation. Scaling must be considered in all phases of an AI innovation project. However, scaling AI poses significant challenges, especially in manufacturing companies.

What is a junior professor and how do you become one? Max Schuster and Prof. Dr. Benedikt Berger explore this question in the latest episode of the Techways podcast. On the one hand, they talk about different career paths in academia and why more students should consider pursuing a PhD. On the other hand, they look at the research topics of the Junior Professorship for Digital Transformation and Society. Prof. Berger also reveals which skills he believes students should focus on during their studies.

Together with the Visiting International Professors (VIP) Dr. Nathalie Mitev (Université Paris-Dauphine, France) and Prof. Dragos Vieru (TELUQ University of Quebec, Montreal, Canada), Prof. Stefan Klein (Chair of the Interorganisational Systems Group) will participate in the NITIM Graduate School from June 20 to June 22, 2024.
