Turn hype into outcome — AI literacy from top to bottom
AI is becoming more accessible and more pervasive. But there’s a gap!
The conversation around AI is still mainly a technical one - between technical experts and enthusiasts. And even after 6, 7 years of AI becoming more mature, we’re still seeing a gap in connecting this technology with business objectives. This gap largely exists because technologists tend to focus so much on technology rather than where and how it can be applied to deliver business value. The business community, however, experiences AI through Hollywood with either its futuristic or dystopian stories. Or they perceive it as the hype that they read about in the press or that they hear about from their peers. However, successful innovation and transformation go beyond pure technology aspects. And technology leaders and their teams ed to enable their business peers to understand the potential of artificial intelligence and automation in order to successfully harness the technology's benefits.
Make AI your business' superpower — No cape required
Artificial Intelligence is the revolutionary technology of our time. But, there’s more to it than just technology itself. Understanding where and how to use it is just as important. Unless you’re close to the topic of AI already, perception is heavily influenced by AI’s portrayal in pop culture and movies, and by the latest headlines. Neither one is particularly accurate or helpful in business.
While business leaders don’t have to be deep technical experts to apply AI, they need a foundational understanding of the potential that this technology holds for their team, department, division, and company. A strong focus on domain skills + AI prepares them to become the superhero of their AI story.
To trust or not to trust AI — Strategies for user adoption and change management
As organizations are automating more and more decision making in their business, leaders are faced with a key question: How can we ensure end-users accept AI-supported decision making and automation ? The answer to it is not trivial by any means. But research on trust in automation over the last 25+ years provides insights that can be turned into the guardrails of a successful AI program in business.
It all starts with understanding the levels of automation and extends to trust, adequate use of automation, and reliance on AI. In front of this backdrop of key findings, the pillars of successful AI projects and programs provide an actionable framework for increasing end-users‘ in AI and automation.

On February 09, Bill Schmarzo (Professor & Author, Dean of Big Data) joined me on “What’s the BUZZ?” and talked about how leaders can prepare their business teams for Generative AI literacy. Despite its transformative role across educational, business, and ethical spheres, Generative AI is a tool. It accelerates research, fosters data literacy, and enhances decision-making processes, but it does not absolve humans using it from being responsible for ethical considerations and critical thinking

On January 23, Mark Minevich (Chief Digital AI Strategist & Author) joined me on “What’s the BUZZ?” and shared how we can create a sustainable future with AI. AI has the potential to drive sustainability and human-centric advancement. But that requires responsible AI practices, focusing on privacy, bias, energy consumption, and alignment with UN SDG goals.

Whether it’s the statements of business leaders at the recent World Economic Forum or the general sentiment in the industry, 2024 is the year that Generative AI pilot projects will move into production.

The Business-Savvy Data Scientist: A New Era For AI-Driven Decision Making
Andreas Welsch
December 11, 2023
In the rapidly evolving world of AI and business, bridging the gap between technical expertise and business acumen is crucial.

What role do AI leaders play in helping the technical teams on this journey?
Preparing For A World Of AI Agents: From Automation to Autonomy
Andreas Welsch
December 05, 2023
Humans have historically performed tasks in a business themselves: forecasting demand, submitting orders, closing the books, etc. With the availability of business software since the 1960s, the level of automation and autonomy performing these tasks has been increasing. OpenAI’s GPTs are an early version of agents that achieve goals based on a user’s prompt and additional data that users can upload. From handling the most common customer service inquiries to chatting with your earnings transcript, GPTs are a good indicator of what’s to come as agent capabilities become more mature.
Guide Your LLM: Four Prompting Techniques For Better Results
Andreas Welsch
November 28, 2023
Industry experts agree that prompting will follow a similar trajectory as the move from Assembler to higher-level programming languages. It is one of the new skills that will be necessary in the short run and that will be replaced by easier-to-use methods and interaction with Generative AI models over time. For now, AI leaders and engineers still need to know the basics of prompting and how to achieve repeatable results for the lowest cost (aka number of tokens).
The Future Of AI: The Diverse Skills Needed To Solve Complex Business Challenges
Andreas Welsch
November 21, 2023
In the realm of Generative AI, there's a growing consensus that prompt engineering alone isn't sufficient, especially for professionals in AI consultancy. This perspective is becoming increasingly relevant in journalism and marketing research. Sole reliance on prompt engineering is too limited, especially for tasks that involve both structured and unstructured data, like form processing. The initial excitement around prompt engineering as a standalone skill is waning. What's needed instead is a diverse skill set that includes managing different data types and integrating AI solutions into existing pipelines and APIs. How can AI leaders prepare their teams?
Using Open Source Large Language Models: The Pros And Cons
Andreas Welsch
November 13, 2023
In the B2B sector, there are four main AI-powered applications. Summarization and Extension is all about condensing large texts into digestible highlights or expanding brief concepts into detailed content. This could apply to sales documents, marketing strategies, or any knowledge-intensive work. Search and Knowledge Retrieval is crucial for customer support chatbots, for example. It involves matching vast stored knowledge to customer inquiries. Digital Asset Creation where AI excels in generating various digital contents like videos, images, and texts, an essential tool for sales and marketing. Lastly, Code Generation is making simpler to analyze customer data and CRM tools through LLMs and code, converting natural language queries into SQL or Python code to extract valuable insights like top-selling products.
An Agent For Every Person: Why Just One Won’t Do
Andreas Welsch
November 07, 2023
Large Language Models (LLM) have been trained on vast amounts of text from the internet and can generate output based on that information. To stay with text as an example, common tasks include generating/ summarizing/ translating it. But text is not just limited to language that you and I communicate in; it also includes communicating with systems and applications through software code. And that’s where it gets interesting.
Fresh Data And Context For Your LLM: Retrieval Augmented Generation
Andreas Welsch
October 31, 2023
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning are two key concepts for providing Large Language Models (LLM) access to new data, for example your company’s travel and procurement policies, or other business data. RAG offers cost efficiency and reduced technical complexity compared to fine-tuning. But every choice comes with trade-offs. What are they and what do AI leaders need to know about RAG?
We've Got You Covered: Big Tech's Generative AI Indemnification Protection
Andreas Welsch
October 24, 2023
Technology innovations have always allowed us to do things we haven’t been able to do before — Generative AI is no different. What makes this technology unique compared to previous innovations, is its ability to generate information: text, image, audio, video, and even turn one kind of media into another. But even more importantly, it is the rapid pace with which Generative AI is progressing. And that can create a problem, especially when laws do not evolve at the same pace — and technology infringes upon the rights of individuals.

What aspects does this emerging role entail?
Make Your LLM Smarter: A Grounding Experience
Andreas Welsch
October 10, 2023
Large Language Models (LLM) that you use “off-the-shelf” create pretty generic output. That’s the going assumption. While it is true for a lot of use cases and it depends on your ability to craft an effective prompt, it’s also similar to the difference between having access to just grammar books and having access to domain-specific textbooks and news on top of that. Find out how you can give your LLM more context for better output.
Beyond The Glass Ceiling: Navigating Career Opportunities For Women In Tech
Intelligence Briefing
April 16, 2024
Gender diversity is critical in data and AI, but women are significantly underrepresented in this field today. With AI becoming a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, the teams behind this technology must reflect the global population's diversity. The current gender imbalance not only skews the economic prosperity towards a predominantly male demographic but also limits the scope of innovation.
Humans and AI: Designing Collaboration For A Better Future
Intelligence Briefing
January 09, 2024
Human-AI collaboration transcends mere automation. It's about harnessing the unique strengths of both humans and machines to achieve unparalleled adaptability and efficiency. AI shouldn't replace humans, but rather, augment their capabilities. Humans excel at creative tasks, grasping context, and applying empathy, while AI excels at repetitive, data-driven analysis. This synergy unlocks a new level of problem-solving.
The Impact of CV Recommender Systems on Procedural Justice in Recruiting: An Experiment in Candidate Selection
European Conference on Information Systems
May 01, 2021
Due to the increasing amount of digitally available applicant information recruiters have difficulties to manage applications through manual recruiting practices. Using CV recommender systems in the selection phase supports recruiters in identifying the most suitable candidates by computing the similarity between a candidate’s profile and job requirements. While recent research has mainly focused on technical improvements, we seek to gain more insights about human-algorithm interactions in recruiting. Our study aims to examine what impact the use of a CV recommender system has on procedural justice in the selection process. Through an experimental set-up with 74 recruiters from 22 multinational companies, our study shows that the incorporation of a CV recommender system helps recruiters to ensure the rule of consistency and bias suppression in the selection phase. Thus, our quantitative results indicate that CV recommender systems can have an impact on procedural justice in candidate selection.

Technical: Thinkers who focus on AI technology itself; what it can do
Business: Thinkers who focus on how AI technology is best used in businesses
Responsible: Thinkers who focus on how AI technology should be used; guardrails for safe use

- You still need a "human in the loop" and will want to prepare your organizations with data and AI literacy programs.
- AI needs good data but we still have barriers (such as siloed data).
- Biased inputs can lead to biased outputs.
- Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Crafting an AI strategy for your business
Ray Villalobos
February 09, 2023
Artificial Intelligence is permeating every aspect of our culture, and if you’re not thinking of how to incorporate it into your business, you’re not positioning your business for success. With AI evolving daily, how do you craft an AI strategy for a moving target with technology, ethics and legal implications?
Join us as we welcome Andreas Welsch, an internationally recognized AI leader with over 21 years of experience. Andreas led business development teams for AI, built and led an AI Center of Excellence, and is the Creator of the Intelligence Briefing series on LinkedIn.
He successfully managed stakeholder relationships with senior business leaders and technology teams across Fortune 500 companies in more than 80 innovation projects, and has helped create an AI mindset across organizations.

These agents will be able to determine the steps needed to accomplish their goal, write and execute code, and connect to available APIs. They will go further where experimental frameworks and research papers stop, and provide a first glimpse at the true potential of generative AI that understands a user's intent and is able to translate that into actionable steps.

AI is becoming more accessible and more pervasive. But there’s a gap!
The conversation around AI is still mainly a technical one - between technical experts and enthusiasts. And even after 6, 7 years of AI becoming more mature, we’re still seeing a gap in connecting this technology with business objectives. This gap largely exists because technologists tend to focus so much on technology rather than where and how it can be applied to deliver business value. The business community, however, experiences AI through Hollywood with either its futuristic or dystopian stories. Or they perceive it as the hype that they read about in the press or that they hear about from their peers. However, successful innovation and transformation go beyond pure technology aspects. And technology leaders and their teams ed to enable their business peers to understand the potential of artificial intelligence and automation in order to successfully harness the technology's benefits.
