C1) What you should know
A) Digital Transformation
A1) Google Next-Gen Quantum computers (Dr. Storm)
Google claims quantum supremacy over traditional supercomputers, claiming it has reached a level of power that modern supercomputers cannot attain. Google's experimental quantum machine, assembled using Random Circuit Sampling, surpasses the capabilities of existing classical supercomputers. However, some argue that the algorithm described by Google researchers does not have practical applications. The next-gen quantum computer is 241 million times more powerful than the 2019 device and could put an end to the quantum supremacy controversy. Google's quantum computing breakthrough, has found that quantum computing could potentially solve calculations 47 years quicker than any supercomputer.
Although progress has been made in the past, Google's latest system test shows promising results for quantum computing in the future.By using this, we may do molecular simulations that are currently not conceivable, leading to the discovery of novel medicines and vaccines.
B) Generative AI
B1) Generative AI and impacts?
(Dr. Storm)
Generative AI, a type of artificial intelligence, has the potential to revolutionize industries by adding $1.3 trillion to the global economy by 2030.
McKinsey estimates that generative AI could increase productivity by automating tasks, creating new product and service categories, and improving customer experiences.
This could lead to more creative and strategic work, as well as the creation of new product and service categories.
Additionally, generative AI could personalize customer experiences, making them more relevant and engaging.
The workforce is also significantly impacted by generative AI, with some jobs being automated and others requiring new skills and knowledge.
Therefore, businesses must prepare for these changes now. Are you prepared???
Which jobs are endangered?
The release of AI tools ChatGPT and Google's Bard has sparked discussions about whether robots will replace humans. Generative AI, a form of artificial intelligence capable of creating text or content in response to user prompts, has gained popularity since its November 2022 release. The AI race heated up after Google released Bard, a ChatGPT competitor and separate entity from Google's search engine.
Goldman Sachs estimates around 300 million jobs could be affected by generative AI, affecting 18% of global work. Two-thirds of jobs in the U.S. and Europe are exposed to some degree of AI automation, and around a quarter of all jobs could be performed by AI entirely.
The Washington Post reported that jobs in agriculture, mining, and manufacturing are the least exposed to generative AI, while IT jobs are the most exposed due to their reliance on programming and writing skills.
After reading above it should be clear that it is a MUST to be informed on those topics. Why not start to use ChatGPT?

B2) Generative AI: Consumer AI vs. Enterprise AI
(Dr. Faisst)
Generative AI has garnered significant interest in Q2/2023, with over 5% of CEOs mentioning it as a future lever for productive gains during earnings calls (source: study by IoTAnalytics: https://iot-analytics.com/what-ceos-talked-about-q2-2023/). The anticipated productivity gains from generative AI includes generating text, audio, video, simulations, and digital twins. As a result, a growing number of G2000 employees have begun piloting the technology, often utilizing Consumer AI versions such as ChatGPT and Google Bard within their enterprise IT environments.
However, the use of Consumer AI in enterprise settings has raised concerns among CIOs due to issues related to uncontrolled data usage, third-party intellectual property, potential loss of internal intellectual property, as well as GDPR compliance. Consequently, CIOs are discontinuing this practice and seeking allowed alternatives in professional Enterprise AI solutions and services. In the upcoming months, Microsoft's ChatGPT Enterprise AI version and Google's Vertex AI are expected to offer suitable options.
Enterprise AI, in contrast to Consumer AI, necessitates proper governance, security measures, and data/intellectual property protection, in addition to adherence to company rules, norms, and ethics. Given the significant investments associated with adopting Enterprise AI, the journey should commence by identifying the desired business outcomes in key use cases (e.g., customer interaction), preparing the data, and establishing governance and organizational guard rails for development, deployment and adoption.
