AI knowledge is no longer optional

It is no longer a question of “whether” we should deal with AI. Just as it is no longer a question of whether “this Internet will really catch on”.

For this reason, we have created a new staff unit “๐—ž๐—œ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ญ๐˜‚๐—ธ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ณ๐˜๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ป๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป” at the PFH Private University of Applied Sciences Gรถttingen, which will be a central point of contact for our students, teaching staff and employees. I have the pleasure of taking over the management of this staff unit.

For me, this means that I am suddenly no longer “just” in the role of an external AI consultant, but have taken on the role of an internal manager.

The tasks are the same:

Not easy, but known and solvable.

The same applies to us as a university as to any other company:

Anyone who wants to achieve a competitive edge with (or despite) AI must take this topic seriously.
