Description:
In the upcoming winter semester, the Chair of Management Control will offer a seminar for the Masterlinie “Sustainability Management and Reporting”, the Masterlinie “Accounting and Finance”, as well as for the BWL-Schwerpunkt “Management Control and Strategy Execution” in the Masterlinie “Management and Economics” with the following title:
“The Good, the Bot & the Ugly: Navigating AI in the Controlling Function” |
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the work of controllers. From new opportunities for greater efficiency and better insight to challenges around identity, skills, and leadership, the course will discuss what it means to work with (and alongside) AI systems in the controlling function. Students will not only engage with current research but also collect real-life data from practicing controllers through a survey, bringing fresh insights into how AI is experienced in practice. In doing so, students will gain a critical and forward-looking understanding of how AI may shape the profession, and how controllers can navigate both the promises and the pitfalls of this technological shift.
