🤖 Tekoälyn hyödyntämisellä nähdään paljon mahdollisuuksia innovaatiotoiminnan tukemisessa. Toimivat käytännöt ovat kuitenkin hakusessa ja joissain tilanteissa siitä voi olla vielä enemmän haittaa kuin hyötyä. ❓ Missä mennään ja mitä viimeaikaisesta kehityksestä pitäisi ajatella?

Pääsin tänään jakamaan ajatuksia ja keskustelemaan siitä, miten generatiivista tekoälyä voidaan hyödyntää innovaatiotoiminnassa, Haaga-Heliassa järjestetyssä Innovaatiosprintissä.
