GenAI
The aim of the GenAI Initiative is to promote research and an open flow of ideas on how to safely and responsibly shape our future. Our focus will be on investigating the impact and responsible use of Generative AI in firms, their operations, industries, markets, and societies. We firmly believe that business leaders are responsible for transforming scientific discoveries and engineering innovations into practical products and services that improve the quality of human life and well-being.
