Abstract
On the one hand, we wonder whether our jobs will still exist in 10 years or if they will already be taken over by AI. On the other hand, excessive paperwork and the phase-out of fax machines remain a reality in many German companies. In this presentation, Lena Weirauch explores the parallels between the current developments in the introduction to the internet, explains why the AI hype is already starting to falter, and outlines strategies for how companies can respond now. She also highlights the key elements of a successful strategy that will ensure AI is used profitably.
