We’re putting together a few valuable insights for company executives in this episode, but it’s so packed that, in the end, there’s just something in it for everyone. This is because Afke Schouten, our special guest, has much to share with us! Paulo Nunes, your host and CEO at Two Impulse, knows this very well and lays down an open road to keep it all coming. Afke’s mission is to help organizations generate true value with AI. She is the Head of Data & AI Strategy at Xebia Data, focusing on corporate training and consulting. Her previous background as a consultant, as well as a data scientist, AI strategist and analytics team lead at companies such as EY, Swiss Re, SwissQuant and AI Bridge allows Afke to help executives build AI strategies and become data-driven. But there’s more! Afke is also a lecturer at HWZ University of Applied Sciences, in Zurich. She frequently speaks about the future of work with AI and teaches introduction to Artificial Intelligence and AI Management. And if you’d think that’s it… you would be wrong! Afke is a partner at the Future of Work Forum, a think tank speaking about the future of the workforce with technology and AI, as well as part of the Board of the Data & AI Leadership Day. Now that you know why you should listen carefully to this conversation, let us give you an overview of what it will cover. And we open right away on a high note with ChatGPT and Large Language Models. Yes, we’re going deep in the topic of the hour. Questions like these are on the menu: How’s it going to change how companies work? What to take into account? What are the implications for companies, people and the society? And this is just to get you warmed up. Paulo and Afke discuss afterwards how companies should develop and implement an AI strategy, including specific roles and steps to take. The recruitment of qualified people, as well as getting the most of human resources in an AI context are also covered. And this lands the conversation on other important topics to consider, such as how to measure the success of a project and also keeping it that way. Before leaving us, Afke still has time to talk a bit about data science and her love for it, and to provide great advice for anyone pursuing a career in it. As you can see, it’s over an hour of great insights that you just have to check out. And it will be worth it!
