Crafting Future Scenarios with the Help of AI - Roland M. Mueller, Katja Thoring at al.

Developing future research poses some problems, including the fact that you don't have the users for manymuch the technology you want to produce. Research questions: Goals: provide AI assistance to future scenario development; AI assistance with scenario rating; AI assisatance with Qualitative Feedback, AI assistance with scenario iterations etc. - Can we democratize access to collective expert knoweldge through Generative AI? - Can we expand the established - Can we build human twins to Project called: Delphi Study Experiment 1: They developed 23 future scenarios using a panel of experts: people from different non-AI fields, such as science fiction authors, business people. And they conmpared that with the ideas of the people in the AI research field. E.g. of solution of the painel of experts: Digital Detox Zone (a place in the office which is not digitally supported) Experiment 2: compare the Human expers and AI experts with a Digital Twin. In short, it does not work yet.

Digital Everything: From Twins to Circular Economy - Barbara Dinter

Digital Everything: From Twins to Circular Economy Barbara Dinter Barbara is one of the IS chairs, focusing on Business Intelligence in TU Chemnitz This presentation is about some german-funded projects. Project 1 - Co-Twin - Vision of a collaboration digital tiwn (DT) in value chain networks. - Whole life cycle - she applies Business Models They transfered the ARIS idea of views (BP view, Data view etc.) to Digital Twins. They have: component view, data view, visualization view, network view... and others. - For all stakeholders in a value chain. The DT is used on the planning phase Results: demonstrator prottoype, 3 use cases, taxanmy, reference architecture, design guidelines and conceptualizations. Project 2 - The circular economy - Part 1 - integration with Co-Twin project Goals: sustainability, enrionmental protection and increased efficiency. Key aspects: Reduce, reuse, repair and recycle; sustainable business models, systemic approach, design for longevity and integration of digital technologies. - Part 2 - The circular economy Digital ecosytem for circular economy in the automotive industry (DIONA) collaboration with other academic partners: TU Dortmun and Fraunshofer ISST. She also mentioned 12 projects with industry. DIONA Focus areas - Transfer and networking: coordination of 12 MobilKreis projects, oraganization of physical and digital meetings, knwoeldge tranfer research activities. - Cyberphysical Lab for SMEs to open experimental space for simulations and test and vailidate scnearios without disrupting live processes. - Digital Hub Research topics: 1) conceptualization of use caes in Circular economy 2) BPM in Circular Economy (adaptation of capabilities, models and technologies for that)
