Engaging AI to Leverage Your Tacit Knowledge

Every time you prompt your Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tool online, it is updating its profile about you. 

What does it mean to be profiled by AI as an individual or as an organization? Imagine the social, economic, and political profiling differences among people. For example, a pharma scientist versus an environmental activist. As a society, we are just beginning to understand the implications of these biases.

At this roundtable, we will discuss how GenAI captures and structures tacit knowledge from individuals and organizations during prompting.

The speaker, Manfred Bornemann, is the former president of German Society for Knowledge Management (GfWM) and an expert on AI promoting. Manfred will begin with a brief overview of leading GenAI platforms and how they mine user prompting data. He will then explore the impact of GenAI on leadership and tacit knowledge. 

Key takeaways:

• Impact of prompting on our GenAI outcomes and knowledge work
• Leveraging bias in the use of AI
• Improving the value of our GenAI outcomes

A use case will invite you to challenge these ideas and share your experiences. The roundtable will be held in English.

Revealing the Invisible: Knowledge Culture in Action

This SKMF roundtable, hosted by University of Lausanne, offers a dynamic and participatory setting to explore how knowledge actually flows (or stalls) in real-world project contexts.

Drawing on reflections from students who attended the recent SMP Congrès convened at University of Lausanne (24 April 2025), this SKMF roundtable on June 3^rd invites you to engage in World Café-style discussions, build models using LEGO, and share stories to reveal the often-overlooked practices shaping project outcomes.

Come ready to think differently about what your organisation knows—and what it needs to know next.
