Harnessing Large Language Models: Transforming Business Processes with Generative AI

In this lecture, we will explore Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, focusing on their potential to transform various sectors through advanced text understanding and generation. We’ll dive into specific applications within company reporting, digitalization, and automation, highlighting how LLMs can automate tasks such as data analysis and reporting. This automation not only streamlines processes but also enhances accuracy and strategic decision-making for controllers and managers.
We also address the limitations of LLMs, including challenges related to accuracy, ethical use, and biases in training data. Maintaining trust and compliance, especially in financial sectors where precision is crucial, is paramount.

Throughout the session, discussions and practical exercises will deepen your understanding, equipping you with the knowledge to effectively integrate AI technologies into your organization’s operations. These insights will prepare you to leverage AI for improved efficiency and decision-making, supporting your organization’s digital transformation efforts.
