SUMMARY:How to make the AI transformation a success: step by step to success
DESCRIPTION:The workshop shows how AI is introduced in the company and offers a roadmap based on the “AI Navigator” research project.\n\n\nArtificial intelligence can create added value in many areas of a company – from increasing efficiency by automating time-consuming processes to using generative AI as an assistant for daily tasks and opening up new business areas. The key question is no longer   when\, but  how AI should be introduced in your own company. To answer this question\, a roadmap for the introduction of AI will be presented in this workshop. Results from the “AI Navigator” research project will be presented and adapted to the specific requirements of the participants.   \nThe focus is on taking your individual needs into account and offering practical solutions. \nWhat you can expect: \n\nUse cases: Concrete examples illustrate how AI can be used to make company processes more efficient.\n\n\nStrategies for introducing AI: We present you with a practice-oriented introduction concept that has been specially developed for small and medium-sized companies. You will learn step by step how to introduce AI. \n\n\nDiscussion: Bring in your questions and ideas to develop solutions together.\n\nPlease note the following information: \nBy registering\, you confirm that you have taken note of the privacy policy(Privacy Policy – 2024 (digitalzentrum-hamburg.de) and legal information(Imprint – Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Hamburg 2024 (digitalzentrum-hamburg.de)).

SUMMARY:AI consultation hour
DESCRIPTION:AI can reduce energy costs\, relieve your employees and much more. Find out with us where your company can benefit. \n\n\nYou hear everywhere how AI can optimize all areas\, but you want to find out what this means for your company? \nTo give you an idea of how AI is used successfully\, here are two examples: \n\nQuality assurance (QA): In many cases\, QA is carried out visually. Be it by looking at the product or with the help of X-ray images. AI recognizes anomalies at the same level as trained experts\, but much faster. AI can therefore filter out unobjectionable cases at lightning speed\, giving your employees more time to assess unclear cases. This increases performance and frees up your specialists\, who are now available for other tasks.    \nSupply chain management: An important area of supply chain management is assessing the delivery reliability of suppliers. AI can predict the reliability of deliveries with an approx. 80% probability\, which enables forward planning: regardless of whether you place the order elsewhere or instruct your production to bring forward other orders – you will be prepared. \n\nDo you have a different problem or would you like to find out more? Then book a lesson with our AI trainer Christian Bruss.  Whether you already have an elaborate plan for implementing your AI concept or are just reading the letters AI for the first time\, our AI trainer will be happy to help you! \nProcedure: By registering\, you agree to a time slot in the period from 9:00 – 18:00. Your final time slot for the AI consultation hour will be allocated to you by our AI trainer. The sender of the e-mail with the information about your personal time slot and your access data is the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). In addition\, our AI trainer will contact you in advance to define your individual wishes with regard to the content of the AI consultation hour.    \nChoose from the following time slots: \n\n9:00 to 10:00 a.m.\n10:30 to 11:30 a.m.\n12:00 to 13:00\n14:00 to 15:00\n15:30 to 16:30\n17:00 to 18:00\n\n \nTarget group: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with and without prior knowledge \nLocation: This event will take place virtually via webinar/video conference. After confirmation of your registration\, you will receive at the latest   One day before the event\, you will receive the access data and further information on logging in from the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) by e-mail. Please make sure that your e-mail address is spelled correctly!  \n————— \nPlease note the following information: \n\nBy registering\, you confirm that you have taken note of the privacy policy(Privacy Policy – 2024 (digitalzentrum-hamburg.de) and legal information(Imprint – Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Hamburg 2024 (digitalzentrum-hamburg.de)).

SUMMARY:How do I tell my chatbot - Effective prompting techniques
DESCRIPTION:Learn practical prompting techniques: An overview of various techniques and frameworks – understandable and without prior knowledge.\n\n\nImmerse yourself in the world of effective prompting – and get more out of your chatbot. In this webinar\, we will show you how to get significantly better answers with simple\, clear formulations – without diving into “too much technology”. The focus will be on tried-and-tested prompting frameworks and supporting tools that will help you reach your goal faster and better assess results.   \nTogether we will look at what great language models can achieve in principle (and where typical pitfalls lie). Building on this\, we will look at how good prompts are created: How to describe your task clearly\, provide meaningful context\, make the desired output clear and quickly achieve better results with small adjustments.  \nOne focus is on easy-to-use prompting frameworks such as  R-U-F and  K-O-N-S-T-R-U-K-T(-E). You will get to know these as “thinking templates” that provide structure when you don’t know exactly how to start – and that help to make prompts more reliable and repeatable. We also show examples\, variations and typical patterns that have proven themselves in everyday life.   \n \nPlease note the following information: \n\nBy registering\, you confirm that you have taken note of the privacy policy(Privacy Policy – 2024 (digitalzentrum-hamburg.de) and legal information(Imprint – Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Hamburg 2024 (digitalzentrum-hamburg.de)).

SUMMARY:AI consultation hour
DESCRIPTION:AI can reduce energy costs\, relieve your employees and much more. Find out with us where your company can benefit. \n\n\nYou hear everywhere how AI can optimize all areas\, but you want to find out what this means for your company? \nTo give you an idea of how AI is used successfully\, here are two examples: \n\nQuality assurance (QA): In many cases\, QA is carried out visually. Be it by looking at the product or with the help of X-ray images. AI recognizes anomalies at the same level as trained experts\, but much faster. AI can therefore filter out unobjectionable cases at lightning speed\, giving your employees more time to assess unclear cases. This increases performance and frees up your specialists\, who are now available for other tasks.    \nSupply chain management: An important area of supply chain management is assessing the delivery reliability of suppliers. AI can predict the reliability of deliveries with an approx. 80% probability\, which enables forward planning: regardless of whether you place the order elsewhere or instruct your production to bring forward other orders – you will be prepared. \n\nDo you have a different problem or would you like to find out more? Then book a lesson with our AI trainer Christian Bruss.  Whether you already have an elaborate plan for implementing your AI concept or are just reading the letters AI for the first time\, our AI trainer will be happy to help you! \nProcedure: By registering\, you agree to a time slot in the period from 9:00 – 18:00. Your final time slot for the AI consultation hour will be allocated to you by our AI trainer. The sender of the e-mail with the information about your personal time slot and your access data is the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). In addition\, our AI trainer will contact you in advance to define your individual wishes with regard to the content of the AI consultation hour.    \nChoose from the following time slots: \n\n9:00 to 10:00 a.m.\n10:30 to 11:30 a.m.\n12:00 to 13:00\n14:00 to 15:00\n15:30 to 16:30\n17:00 to 18:00\n\n \nTarget group: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with and without prior knowledge \nLocation: This event will take place virtually via webinar/video conference. After confirmation of your registration\, you will receive at the latest   One day before the event\, you will receive the access data and further information on logging in from the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) by e-mail.

SUMMARY:ARIC Brown Bag: Hype\, hope and statistics: GenAI from an ethical perspective
DESCRIPTION:Exchange and insights into AI projects – practical experience from the community\n\n\nEveryone is talking about GenAI: as a future technology\, as the Next Big Thing\, in the form of disappointed expectations\, or as a social dystopia. The session will sort through these perceptions and show where the use of Generative AI entails significant ethical challenges (and where it probably does not).  \n\n\nImportant information: From January 2026 you will find our ARIC Brown Bag announcements on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:AI consultation hour
DESCRIPTION:AI can reduce energy costs\, relieve your employees and much more. Find out with us where your company can benefit. \n\n\nYou hear everywhere how AI can optimize all areas\, but you want to find out what this means for your company? \nTo give you an idea of how AI is used successfully\, here are two examples: \n\nQuality assurance (QA): In many cases\, QA is carried out visually. Be it by looking at the product or with the help of X-ray images. AI recognizes anomalies at the same level as trained experts\, but much faster. AI can therefore filter out unobjectionable cases at lightning speed\, giving your employees more time to assess unclear cases. This increases performance and frees up your specialists\, who are now available for other tasks.    \nSupply chain management: An important area of supply chain management is assessing the delivery reliability of suppliers. AI can predict the reliability of deliveries with an approx. 80% probability\, which enables forward planning: regardless of whether you place the order elsewhere or instruct your production to bring forward other orders – you will be prepared. \n\nDo you have a different problem or would you like to find out more? Then book a lesson with our AI trainer Christian Bruss.  Whether you already have an elaborate plan for implementing your AI concept or are just reading the letters AI for the first time\, our AI trainer will be happy to help you! \nProcedure: By registering\, you agree to a time slot in the period from 9:00 – 18:00. Your final time slot for the AI consultation hour will be allocated to you by our AI trainer. The sender of the e-mail with the information about your personal time slot and your access data is the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). In addition\, our AI trainer will contact you in advance to define your individual wishes with regard to the content of the AI consultation hour.    \nChoose from the following time slots: \n\n9:00 to 10:00 a.m.\n10:30 to 11:30 a.m.\n12:00 to 13:00\n14:00 to 15:00\n15:30 to 16:30\n17:00 to 18:00\n\n \nTarget group: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with and without prior knowledge \nLocation: This event will take place virtually via webinar/video conference. After confirmation of your registration\, you will receive at the latest   One day before the event\, you will receive the access data and further information on logging in from the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) by e-mail. Please make sure that your e-mail address is spelled correctly!  \n————— \nPlease note the following information: \n\nBy registering\, you confirm that you have taken note of the privacy policy(Privacy Policy – 2024 (digitalzentrum-hamburg.de) and legal information(Imprint – Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Hamburg 2024 (digitalzentrum-hamburg.de)).

SUMMARY:ARIC Brown Bag Session: Return on AI - Realistically measuring the impact of GenAI
DESCRIPTION:Exchange and insights into AI projects – practical experience from the community\n\n\nGenerative AI is changing ways of working – but how do you measure its actual benefits? The impulse shows a tried-and-tested approach that organizations can use to systematically record the efficiency\, quality and acceptance effects of GenAI. Using real project examples\, measurement logic\, success factors and typical pitfalls are made tangible.   \n\n\nImportant information: From January 2026 you will find our ARIC Brown Bag announcements on Eventbrite.
