Professor Matthias Holweg
Matthias is a leading expert in digital operations and the application of AI to improve business processes. He is particularly interested in exploring how AI can enhance processes and, conversely, how best practices in process management can improve the operation of AI systems. His recent work examines the lifecycle management of AI systems, from development and deployment to operations and retirement, with an emphasis on ensuring their trustworthiness. In collaboration with colleagues at the Oxford Internet Institute and Oxford Saïd, he co-developed a proof-of-concept for an ethics-based audit protocol for AI systems. Additionally, he is investigating the potential failure modes of AI applications in light of regulatory efforts to mitigate ethical risks. In his recent publications, Matthias explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and Lean Six Sigma, discussing ways in which AI can augment process improvement activities. Professor Holweg has been instrumental in developing the hands-on agent building approach that makes this intensive course format uniquely practical.
