AI in knowledge management - for more efficiency and a head start
What are the advantages and areas of application of generative AI in knowledge management?
In order to take advantage of the efficiency and productivity benefits of AI in knowledge management, it is important to consider the potential areas of application.
What advantages does generative AI offer in knowledge management?
Efficient acquisition and provision of knowledge
By using generative AI, for example, documents can be created and updated automatically. Information is linked intelligently and missing knowledge is added automatically. All of this promotes process efficiency and knowledge sharing.
Easy access to knowledge for more productivity in everyday working life
Employees can quickly access customized information. Generative AI supports them in this, e.g. through virtual assistants. This frees up more time for conceptual and creative activities.
Knowledge management as a competitive advantage
Generative AI strengthens the power of innovation by deriving new ideas from existing data. It offers employees access to knowledge and learning resources that expand their skills. This can create an important competitive advantage.
What are the classic challenges in knowledge management?
Isolated knowledge through data silos
Information is often isolated in different departments, which makes knowledge sharing and collaboration considerably more difficult.
Loss of knowledge due to employee turnover
When experienced employees leave the company, considerable gaps in knowledge arise, as valuable experience and knowledge have not been documented or passed on.
Lack of knowledge culture
A culture that promotes the exchange and documentation of knowledge is often lacking, leaving valuable knowledge fragmented and unused.
Overload due to information overload
The overwhelming amount of information available makes it difficult for employees to identify relevant data and use it effectively.

What are examples of AI applications in knowledge management?
Automated documentation of knowledge
Generative AI makes it possible to capture and structure information automatically, ensuring that databases are consistent and up-to-date. This reduces manual effort and ensures that valuable knowledge remains accessible at all times.
Intelligent networking of knowledge
Generative AI can be used to efficiently link information from different sources. Data from isolated systems is analyzed and integrated to create a networked knowledge base. This promotes the exchange of knowledge and innovation.
Personalized provision of knowledge and information
By using generative AI and analyzing needs, employees can be provided with relevant information in a targeted manner. This reduces the effort required to obtain information and also improves the basis for decision-making in day-to-day work.
Virtual knowledge assistants
Virtual assistants can make it much easier to access information. Generative AI enables these assistants to respond quickly to requests and provide relevant information. This makes work easier and increases productivity, as employees can concentrate on important tasks.
Automatic generation of content
The creation of documents and reports can be automated through the use of generative AI. Content is generated based on existing data and information, which significantly reduces manual effort. This enables employees to work more efficiently and creatively.
Recognizing and closing knowledge gaps
Generative AI helps to analyze large amounts of data, identify knowledge gaps and proactively make recommendations to close these gaps. Employees thus receive targeted support that continuously improves their skills and decision-making ability.
