Webinar: How do firms and sectors engage with AI?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform economies, reshape how people work, and change how firms organise their production. The webinar “How do firms and sectors engage with AI? Innovation, skills and use”, presented by Dr. Lea Samek from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), will introduce a recently published sectoral taxonomy of AI intensity. It will outline different dimensions—AI human capital, AI innovation, exposure to and use of AI—that characterise the extent to which AI relates to the activity of economic sectors.
