Have a look at our article to find out what was discussed!

We are pleased to invite you to our November 2023 Luncheon with Dr. Martin Schulz, Chief Economist at Fujitsu Ltd., who will deliver a speech titled “Generative AI – What Does It Take to Succeed with Implementation?”.

The opportunities of Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) range from simple “out-of-the-box” experimentation to the development of dynamic knowledge bases and the discovery of new business models. But as the initial hype subsides, the costs and challenges of implementation become more apparent as well. Business leaders must decide from the outset what role they want generative AI to play in their organizations and develop a coherent AI strategy. In his presentation for the SCCIJ, Dr. Schulz will show what’s possible, what can be gained, and how implementation can be successful.

Participants interested in doing preliminary readings on the topic can refer to Dr. Schulz’s latest report by the same title, published on October 25, 2023 (EN / JP).
