SUMMARY:ITeG Lecture: "AI in Organizations"
DESCRIPTION:In the ITeG Lecture Series "Digital Society - a Design Challeng
 e", Prof. Dr. Georg von Krogh will provide insights into "AI in Organizatio
 ns" on March 3, 2021. He is a Professor at ETH Zurich and holds the Chair o
 f Strategic Management and Innovation.\n\nSummary of his presentation:\n\nT
 he past decade has seen momentous scientific advances in the field of artif
 icial intelligence (AI), “a system’s ability to interpret external data cor
 rectly, to learn from such data, and to use those learnings to achieve spec
 ific goals and tasks through flexible adaptation” (Haenlein & Kaplan, 2019)
 . Powered by a surge in data generation and computing power, algorithms are
  becoming increasingly capable of digitally performing operations that effi
 ciently and effectively emulate human learning, profound judgment and decis
 ion-making across a wide range of application areas. Such applications incl
 ude optimization of internal business operations, product design, the captu
 re of scarce external knowledge, and the screening and recruiting of talent
 . With these developments, management scholars have shown a growing interes
 t in AI’s potential to support or transform organizations. Yet, while the a
 pplication of AI algorithms is by now widely studied across functional doma
 ins including engineering, human resource management, operations management
 , information systems, economics, finance, accounting, and marketing, much 
 less attention has been devoted to understanding how the onset of AI change
 s the nature of strategizing—that is, the activities of people involved in 
 the strategy process. In this talk, we will take stock of the promise and p
 erils of AI in shaping the future of strategizing. We discuss applications 
 known to us during the key stages in the strategy process and identify oppo
 rtunities for future research on the strategy-AI nexus.\n\nThe lectures tak
 e place online (via Zoom). To join the Zoom meeting, please find the Zoom l
