Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made fantastic progress in recent years and is increasingly influencing various aspects of our lives. But how to use it in the business world?
Even before ChatGPT, there were impressive generative AI models. For example, AI entered our everyday lives in 2011 with Apple's "Siri" launch. Also, in 2011, the computer program "Watson" beat human players in an American quiz show. Watson proved that it understands natural language and can answer complex questions quickly.
However, generative AI applications such as ChatGPT have influenced people's imaginations of what AI can do in a way other systems have not. That is probably due to its broad and straightforward applicability - almost anyone can use it to communicate and be creative.

Robot Psychology: How do Humans react to Robots?
January 16, 2024Künstliche Intelligenz,roboticsKünstliche Intelligenz,Robotics
In this article, you will learn what "robot psychology" is, how people react to robot technology, and how anthropomorphism plays a role.
Almost in slow motion and deliberately, as if it had been deep in thought, it lifts its head and opens its eyelids. Brightly awake eyes in crystal blue are revealed. They are kindly turned towards their counterpart, just like its face, whose forms stand out discreetly against a snow-white sheen. But it is the facial expression, the intense inquisitive look on its face, that makes this creature truly fascinating. It bends its head towards its creator in a seemingly loving manner and asks him in a velvety voice about the events of the world and the meaning of its existence.
"NS-5" - a fictional humanoid robot type in the science fiction movie "I, Robot" (2004) - is the only robot in this story to have an additional central processing unit for emotions in addition to its logical central processing unit. But NS-5 has yet to learn how to deal with emotions properly, how to classify and understand them...

You'll learn the results of a field experiment conducted by Yael Karlinsky-Shichor (School of Business at Northeastern) and Oded Netzer (Columbia University) to explore "Who makes better pricing decisions in B2B settings - humans or machines?"
We now know that algorithms and artificial intelligence are part of our daily lives. The general trust in systems like Google Maps is relatively high when looking at the number of users utilizing the platform.
Nevertheless, it often happens that we see a route suggestion that causes us to frown and think, "That seems weird to me. I don't think that's right."
Correlation does not equal causality - KPIs in Sales
December 12, 2023Key Performance Indicators,Predictive Analytics,Künstliche Intelligenz,Sales AnalyticsUncategorized
Watch your step! Sales managers and managing directors in B2B confuse correlation and causality.
Data-based decisions in sales are not always ad-hoc better than intuition. The reason for this is the frequent confusion between the terms causality and correlation.
How nice it would be if managing directors or sales executives regularly knew why something happened. Why individual customers churn; why one product does not sell well or sells more than others; why in the end a promising sales lead does not become a customer, regardless of how good our salespeople are.
