“Interest in AI is tremendous. We are an organization eager not only to learn more about the opportunities that AI presents, but also how AI can be implemented in our daily operations to increase efficiency and value creation,” says Terje Engebretsen, IT Manager at Sea1 Offshore.
32 of his colleagues signed up for “How to get started with AI” – an initiative from CapGemini and GCE NODE. During three workshops AI experts from the consultancy share examples from other businesses and industries and facilitate the participants in identifying AI opportunities within their own company.
“We will pick the lowest hanging fruits to gain experience before we expand the use of AI in our organization,” says Engebretsen.
A lot of ideas on how to utilize AI surfaced during the first session.
“In a heavily regulated business, we look to simplify some stringent procedures while remaining compliant with rules and regulations. We hope and believe that AI can help us achieve this,” says Engebretsen.
IMPROVING WORKFLOWS AT HMH
A sizable group of people also attended the AI workshop series at HMH. Søren Øydna, SVP Digital Solutions at HMH, has previously talked about how the company has identified ways to implement AI in their products and services.
“This time, we are more focused on how AI can help us improve workflows in our organization. We have already come up with some exciting ideas. It remains to be seen if they are feasible,” says Øydna.
He praises GCE NODE and CapGemini for their initiative to assist cluster companies in advancing their knowledge and usage of artificial intelligence.
“Such initiatives bring value to us as a cluster participant,” says Øydna.
Jan Helge Viste, Transition Manager at GCE NODE, is pleased to see how popular “How to get started with AI” workshops have become.
“This serves as an example of how a cluster can facilitate technological development for its participants and improve the competitiveness of the supplier industry,” says Viste.
