The third edition of the webinar series focused on the business value of Artificial Intelligence, has been launched by emlyon business school.

The webinar series, organised by the AIM Research Center on Artificial Intelligence in Value Creation at emlyon, focuses on how Artificial Intelligence creates new value layers affecting user behaviour and new business ecosystems.

The research center investigates how AI and related emerging technologies affect value creation in human interactions and consumer behaviour, and the new way companies create and capture value doing business and shaping business ecosystems.

It explores three dimensions of value creation: AI in business value, AI in ethical value and AI in societal value.

The webinars will draw on insights and examples from leading academics and industry experts in the field of AI and creating business and consumer value.
