“Think like…” Roundtables

The use of AI at Work brings together many different stakeholder groups, each with its own dynamic set of interests, goals, perspectives, and approaches. So what does it mean, concretely, to think like
these stakeholders?
To learn more about how they position themselves, to see this space of opportunities and challenges through their eyes, and to hear what matters most to them – you are invited to participate in a series of ”Think Like” roundtables led by
representatives of different stakeholder groups.
