Artificial Intelligence: An Expedition

Last year, Axel Springer introduced the "AI Expedition". This fellowship allows selected specialists and executives to fully immerse themselves in the world of generative artificial intelligence (AI) for several months to explore the technology's many potentials for Axel Springer in global tech epicenters, such as the Silicon Valley. To remain at the industry’s forefront in the future, significant investments need to be made in the present, particularly in the education and training of our workforce. How exactly this pays off – for our AI Fellows and Axel Springer – you can find out here.
