Kasseler company relies on AI: Opportunities against the shortage of skilled workers!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not just a technological buzzword, but a growing global market. This is emphasized by Oliver Bracht, company founder of the Kassel company Eoda, which has been dealing with the development of AI for 15 years. At a time when the shortage of skilled workers in Germany accepts threatening dimensions, Bracht sees an instrument to solve this problem in AI. However, many companies were skeptical and often failed to use their collected data effectively, reports the Hessische/Lower Saxony General .

Bracht studied sociology and philosophy and focused on empirical social research. Before Eoda was founded, he worked at the Kassel research institution Incher and in a market research company. The realization that many companies do not use their data sensibly led to its company. Nowadays Bracht considers AI to be a hype with substance, since this technology can help to significantly increase the value of existing data.

KIS potential in a shortage of skilled workers

eoda uses various approaches from the AI, such as generative or predictive AI. Generative AI, similar to Chatgpt, creates new content, while predictive AI is used to predict future events, such as the exchange of mechanical components. Eoda algorithms are used in almost all industries, whereby close cooperation with customers is decisive to overcome resistance and skepticism in the workforce.

As a study by McKinsey shows, Ki Germany's gross domestic product could increase up to 585 billion euros by 2040. At the same time, AI technologies could increase productivity by 18% faster. Therefore, it becomes clear that a high qualification density in Germany favors a successful implementation of AI, which already actively use companies like Siemens and Bosch.

challenges and fears

Despite the potential, there are challenges in implementing AI, especially in personnel management. The transfer of knowledge between man and machine and ethical aspects are of great importance. It is also crucial to take the fears of the employees seriously, especially the concerns about job losses by AI. Transparent communication is essential to promote the acceptance of this technology in companies.

There are many fields of application for AI that not only optimize processes, but can also generate new knowledge. For example, the Rauenberg house doctor's center uses AI-based telephone assistants to relieve the practical personnel, or the judiciary in Stuttgart uses KI to process procedures more efficiently. These developments show the transformative potential of AI in various areas such as medicine, administrations or craft.

Finally, it can be said that AI can be of great importance in the fight against the shortage of skilled workers. Oliver Bracht and his team at Eoda see their task in helping the employees of the companies and helping them use the technology sensibly in order not only to increase their efficiency, but also to ensure responsible and ethical implementation of AI.
