Benefit
This training teaches how AI can improve the efficiency and quality of product development processes. It presents a basic approach to using AI in product development that can be applied regardless of the type of product (physical, digital, etc.). The versatility as well as the opportunities and limitations of current LLMs are explained. It will be shown which data can be processed and in which areas the greatest potential for optimization lies. Best practice examples are used to provide an overview of the specific potential of AI in each phase of the product development process. It also shows how to select suitable AI models and define an AI strategy for the product development process.
Methods
Keynote speeches, discussion and exchange of best practices, case studies from practice, group work
