Basics of generative AI
Introduction to Generative AI
Benedikt Schwaiger

Benedikt Schwaiger ist Geschäftsführer der SMH Analytics GmbH und verfügt über langjährige Erfahrung als Berater und Trainer für KMU sowie Konzerne. Mit einem B. Sc. in Betriebswirtschaftslehre (Universität Siegen) und einem MBA in Digital Business (MCI Innsbruck) verbindet er betriebswirtschaftliches Know-how mit tiefem Fachwissen in Data Science und Künstlicher Intelligenz.
Als zertifizierter KNIME-Partner unterstützt er Unternehmen bei der Identifikation und Umsetzung von Data Science- und GenAI-Use Cases, der Implementierung von Low-Code/No-Code-Tools sowie der Steigerung der Datenkompetenz von Mitarbeitenden, Führungskräften und Organisationen. Sein Fokus liegt darauf, datengetriebene Innovationen praxisnah und nachhaltig in Unternehmen zu verankern.
Generative AI goes beyond detecting human behavior and can independently generate new content such as text, images, audio, and video. Deep learning and large language models (LLMs), which are used in various areas, are fundamental here.
The seminar supports participants in developing a sound understanding of generative AI, acquiring practical skills, reducing fears, and understanding the relevance of compliance and legal aspects.
Aim of the further education
- Understanding the basics of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI
- Reducing fears and prejudices towards AI.
- Recognizing use cases and benefits of generative AI in the manufacturing environment
- Practical experience in using generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, MS Co-Pilot, KNIME AI
- Promoting creativity and problem-solving skills supported by AI
- Reduction of fears and prejudices towards AI
