    Can regulated industries afford to miss the GenAI wave because of its potential risks? Regardless of the use case – from employee productivity to user information – the technology will need to be closely controlled and monitored. Tracing and auditing user interactions as well as LLM replies and measuring any drift in quality and reliability are absolute necessities.  In this session, we will examine the risks of GenAI in Content Delivery, from security and compliance to misinformation and liability, and will discuss what it takes to mitigate them and safely integrate GenAI into highly regulated sectors. Presented by Fabrice Lacroix

    How to maintain the quality of your content and achieve your content targets when using Generative AI (GenAI).

      Everyone is talking about GenAI, but how can content creation with AI be used by companies? The use of GenAI tools in content creation is attracting increasing attention. In this context, companies are focusing on a central question: What impact does the use of these technologies have on our corporate language? How do we ensure that our content continues to meet our content targets and how can we keep our corporate content as an essential part of our corporate identity? How can our content creation process benefit from the advantages of generative ai and at the same time counter the risks for your organization ? In this presentation Michael Mannhardt will take a comprehensive look at these questions and examine the various aspects.

    In order to standardize and harmonize their content many companies - not only from the aerospace and defense industries - are thinking about using STE as a guideline for creating content.

    But, is writing documents according to STE as “simple” as the name of the standard suggests?  Not necessarily - because following more than 60 writing rules and only using a very restricted vocabulary is quite challenging. Therefore, some companies are only using the standard “half-heartedly”. Is this approach as effective as the original one? Does it lead to the same goals? Is there an alternative for content standardization?

    In this webinar Ursula Reuther will have a closer look at the standard itself and will address the above questions considering relevant aspects of corporate content creation.

    Structured content is finally getting its moment. Long under appreciated outside the inner circle of tech comm professionals, it is now stepping in the spotlight. As a sine qua non for effective AI, structured content is driving a massive and urgent interest at the highest levels of organizations.
    This unprecedented opportunity comes with a major shift in adoption strategy enabled by Content Delivery Platforms (CDPs). Going “delivery-first” rather than “structure-first” delivers early, visible outcomes across the enterprise, and paves the way for faster, broader adoption.

    What makes a corporate language consistent? It is definitely a consistent style that makes a corporate language distinctive; however, the company's own vocabulary and typical corporate terminology are also of crucial importance. This vocabulary is not simply a list of words or a glossary. It is more than that. That is why we call it terminology.
    This presentation shows what constitutes good terminology, how it is created and how it is used and how that terminology has an impact on many areas of a company. It is an important prerequisite for taxonomy and ontologies and has a positive influence on the quality of translations.

    Presented by: Torsten Machert, Congree Headshot black and white photo of man with short hair and glasses.
