AI in the workplace: blessing or curse?

“Uncertainties in the supply chain can impact both companies and individuals – for example, if there are shortages in microchips, steel, or even toilet paper. That makes real-time analysis critically important, and AI can help us there. But the necessary background knowledge and innovative ideas still come from the people in my team. Ultimately, our success hinges on them.”

“Digital tools help us optimize work processes by automating individual steps and allowing us to track processes more effectively. This way, we can reduce the risk of errors in production and, most importantly, save valuable time.”

“Many of us are familiar with smart assistants like Alexa or Siri, which answer questions for us on demand, as we use them at home. In the future, bots or virtual agents powered by AI could analyze enormous amounts of data at GF in the blink of an eye and solve our employees’ IT problems. I see major potential for AI in IT service management!”

“AI and automation can help us work far more precisely and efficiently. At our logistics center, we can do the same amount of work with fewer people thanks to automation. But this technology can also be very expensive. The downside is that if it breaks down, it might halt the entire production process. So, we should never rely exclusively on this technology.”
