Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Innovation
AI and digital innovation are transforming industries by automating tasks, boosting creativity, and unlocking new business models. Generative AI offers powerful tools but requires strategic and proactive approaches to harness its full potential for sustainable growth. Our AI & Digital Innovation research fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration between academics, startups, and industries, driving the development of insights and pioneering innovations leading to important debates.
Led by Prof. Hila LifshitzLink opens in a new window the Artificial Intelligence Innovation Network (AIIN) unites research expertise with industry partners to explore AI's impact on work and society, fostering collaboration across sectors to enhance research as well as industrial impact. Selected highlights of the research includes:
- Navigating the Jagged Technological Frontier: Field Experimental Evidence of the Effects of AI on Knowledge Worker Productivity and Quality: The study Link opens in a new windowconducted with leading business schools researchers (Harvard, Wharton, MIT and others) with Boston Consulting Group, examine the performance implications of AI on realistic, complex, and knowledge-intensive tasks.

AiiNLink opens in a new window Workshop: Onboarding AI and Upskilling Professionals on AI
Online – May 6th from 10-11:30AM ET
AI is rapidly reshaping the workplace – not just automating tasks, but transforming how we work, what skills we need, and how organizations function. In 2024, enterprise AI investment surged sixfold, signaling a shift from small pilots to full-scale adoption. Nearly 72% of leaders expect even broader use of generative AI soon, and 77% of employers plan to reskill workers to keep up.
This transformation raises urgent questions: How do we onboard AI effectively? What skills will professionals need to thrive alongside intelligent systems? How will roles, power dynamics, and organizational processes shift as AI becomes a “coworker”?
To explore these questions, the The Artificial Intelligence Innovation Network (AiiN) invites you to a special online workshop:
