Künstliche Intelligenz ist in unserem Alltag angekommen. Anwendung findet KI ebenso bereits in unterschiedlichen Branchen wie der Logistik, Medizin, Finanz- oder Landwirtschaft. Auch das ist ein Zeichen für einen grundlegenden technologischen Wandel mit umfangreichen Folgen und Effekten. Generative KI ¿ also jene, die etwas scheinbar aus sich selbst heraus hervorbringen kann, wie beispielsweise ChatGPT oder Midjourney ¿ führt Menschen im Sinne des Wortes sichtbar vor Augen, dass viele unserer Tätigkeiten, die wir unter ¿Arbeit¿ oder unserem ¿Job¿ subsumieren von KI übernommen werden könnten. Wie sollte also eine Arbeitsteilung zwischen KI-Systemen und Menschen aussehen, die ihren jeweiligen einzigartigen Kompetenzen gerecht wird und robuste und nachhaltige Entscheidungen fördert? Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die Technologien und Prinzipien Künstlicher Intelligenz sowie die Einführung von KI-Technologien in Unternehmen und die damit verbundenen Change-Prozesse. Es werden die aktuell wichtigsten Anwendungsfelder von Künstlicher Intelligenz in unterschiedlichen Branchen und Industrien beschrieben sowie zahlreiche Beispiele zur nachhaltigen KI-Nutzung und zum Aufbau notwendiger Kompetenzen. Außerdem wird die menschliche Intuition dargestellt und analysiert. Hierbei wird immer wieder Bezug auf Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede genommen, um Künstliche Intelligenz (Artificial Intelligence) und menschliche Intuition (Archaic Intellience) ihren Domänen entsprechend zu entwickeln und damit zu resilienten, nachhaltigen Strategien und Entscheidungen zu gelangen.

How might one determine if a financial institution is taking risk in a balanced and productive manner? A powerful tool to address this question is economic capital, which is a model-based measure of the amount of equity that an entity must hold to satisfactorily offset its risk-generating activities. This book, with a particular focus on the credit-risk dimension, pragmatically explores real-world economic-capital methodologies and applications. It begins with the thorny practical issues surrounding the construction of an (industrial-strength) credit-risk economic-capital model, defensibly determining its parameters, and ensuring its efficient implementation. It then broadens its gaze to examine various critical applications and extensions of economic capital; these include loan pricing, the computation of loan impairments, and stress testing. Along the way, typically working from first principles, various possible modelling choices and related concepts are examined. The end result is a useful reference for students and practitioners wishing to learn more about a centrally important financial-management device.

Einige digitale Plattformen haben inzwischen eine kaum zu durchdringende Marktmacht aufgebaut. Diese ist ein Resultat ihres strukturellen Aufbaus als Vermittler zwischen Mitgliedern unter dem Einfluss von Netzeffekten sowie dem Skalierungs- und Hybridisierungspotenzial. Ergänzt wird diese strukturbedingte Marktmacht durch eine algorithmenbasierte Marktmacht, welche auf der Auswertung personenbezogener Daten und der Personalisierung von Inhalten basiert. Jene Plattform, welche die Daten ihrer Mitglieder am besten auswertet und auch die effektivste Personalisierung bietet, setzt sich im sog. »Race for Relevance« durch. Die Gründe der Marktmacht digitaler Plattformen werden unter betriebswirtschaftlichem Blickwinkel analysiert und die daraus entstehenden Herausforderungen diskutiert. Eine empirische Untersuchung analysiert die Präferenzen von Menschen zur Nutzung insb. von Content-Plattformen, welche als besonders daten-analytisch beschrieben werden können.
