TUE, NOVEMBER 10 · 12:00–21:00 · THINK!
The first day follows the guiding principle “THINK!” and focuses on strategic questions around AI and Decision Intelligence. After an academic impulse from Prof. Dr. Ansgar Zerfaß, the CCO panel “Strategic Decision Making with AI” will address the role of data and AI in decision-making, responsibility, trust, speed and the future of the communications function.
On both days, exchange among participants is at the heart of the conference – on stage and beyond. Open Labs allow participants to explore the technologies and applications discussed. “WHAT’S NEXT” turns the focus to new technologies, methods and consulting approaches at AITASTIC.
