• Abstract: Companies' adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming an essential element of business success. However, using AI poses new requirements for companies and their employees, including transparency and comprehensibility of AI systems. The field of Explainable AI (XAI) aims to address these issues. Yet, the current research primarily consists of laboratory studies, and there is a need to improve the applicability of the findings to real-world situations. Therefore, this project report paper provides insights into employees' needs and attitudes towards (X)AI. For this, we investigate employees' perspectives on (X)AI. Our findings suggest that AI and XAI are well-known terms perceived as important for employees. This recognition is a critical first step for XAI to potentially drive successful usage of AI by providing comprehensible insights into AI technologies. In a lessons-learned section, we discuss the open questions identified and suggest future research directions to develop human-centered XAI designs for companies. By providing insights into employees' needs and attitudes towards (X)AI, our project report contributes to the development of XAI solutions that meet the requirements of companies and their employees, ultimately driving the successful adoption of AI technologies in the business context.

  This paper focuses on the opportunities and the ethical and societal risks posed by advanced AI assistants. We define advanced AI assistants as artificial agents with natural language interfaces, whose function is to plan and execute sequences of actions on behalf of a user. We consider the deployment of advanced assistants at a societal scale, focusing on cooperation, equity and access, misinformation, economic impact, the environment and how best to evaluate advanced AI assistants.

  Artificial Intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) aims to combine the power of AI with the big data generated by IT Operations processes. We discuss in depth the key types of data emitted by IT Operations activities, the scale and challenges in analyzing them, and where they can be helpful. We categorize the key AIOps tasks as - incident detection, failure prediction, root cause analysis and automated actions.
