Use of AI to Supercharge Knowledge Work in the Government Sector
2025-05-21 17:30 - 19:30
Aalto University MBA Association (AMA) is inviting you to discuss use of AI in government sector with Henri Schildt, Professor of Strategy at Aalto University
• Topic: Use of AI to supercharge knowledge work in the government sector
• Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2025 at 17:30-19:30
• Location: Aalto EE Töölö, Runeberginkatu 14–16, 00100 Helsinki
• Language: English
Coffee and snack will be served from 17.00, welcome!
This conversation focuses on the impact of artificial intelligence on professional knowledge work and management. It is based on Henri’s ongoing research conducted in collaboration with Finnish government and companies. He will also introduce his related start-up company and early product, an “insights platform” built using large language models. At the center of recent developments is the shift from rule-based mechanical information processing towards “cognitive computing”, probabilistic language processing with neural networks. Whereas the initial wave of SAAS services acted as “information pipelines” that store and transmit information, the next wave of enterprise software will analyze, synthesize, process, and act on knowledge contained in natural language. This means that the role of software will move from coordinating knowledge work increasingly to carrying out parts of it. While scary, these changes can boost productivity and help elevate our focus from mundane tasks towards more strategic and value-adding activities. When developing and deploying new AI systems, we have to make choices that will shape the future of organizing and management.
