Digdeep Podcast: Will AI Be the New Colleague, Prof. Sabine Pfeiffer?
News From the Digital World by MCML PI Frauke Kreuter and Christof Horn

The success of AI implementations in companies depends crucially on the early involvement of employees, as Professor Sabine Pfeifer also emphasizes in her research.
