The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the landscape of work, ushering in a new era of efficiency and innovation. AI technologies, like ChatGPT, are not only optimizing existing workflows but also opening doors to entirely new business models and ways of working. This shift will likely reduce the need for repetitive tasks and redirect focus toward creative and strategic roles, fundamentally altering the skills in demand on the job market.
Recognizing this shift, Switzerland Innovation Park Ost, in collaboration with the Institute of Computer Science (ICS-HSG) at the University of St.Gallen, has launched a series of specialized AI workshops. These workshops are designed to provide practical, hands-on experience with AI tools such as ChatGPT and cater to various skill levels and industries.
What sets these workshops apart is their personalized approach. Each session begins with a consultation with the team leader to tailor the content to the team's specific needs and goals. Participants engage in practical exercises that allow them to not only learn about AI technologies but also experience their potential and limitations firsthand. By the end of the workshop, participants have the skills to apply AI tools in ways that enhance their daily operations.
Feedback from past participants underscores the workshops' impact. Daniel Müller, Head of Location Promotion at the Office for Economic and Labour Affairs of the Canton of St.Gallen, shared, “The ChatGPT workshop provided our team with a very practical introduction to the world of chatbots. It helped us identify and test concrete applications.” Similarly, Matthias Bleibler, Vice President of R&D Fiber Optics at HUBER+SUHNER, emphasized the conducive environment provided by SIP Ost for focused learning and collaboration.
These workshops offer a unique opportunity for professionals and teams to deepen their understanding of AI and integrate it into their work. Seize the chance to leverage AI for your own professional and organizational growth.
