About the event
AI is developing at a breathtaking pace and is becoming indispensable in the future day-to-day operations of organizations. This Masterclass offers an intensive and practice-oriented training program focused on the procurement and implementation of AI systems. Its interactivity, methodology, and focus on real-world application scenarios make it a unique offering for professionals who want to successfully integrate AI into their organizations and procurement processes. The Masterclass emphasizes real-life use cases, highlights potential pitfalls, and presents actionable solutions.
This Masterclass combines intensive knowledge transfer with hands-on group exercises and an agile planning approach. The goal is to equip participants with the skills needed to strategically procure and implement AI systems—considering current technological, economic, and legal frameworks.
