Deutschlands größte Hochschule: Wie Sven Schütt die IU mit KI skalierte

When Sven Schütt took over as head of IU University, it had around 1,500 students and a strong focus on hotel management. Today, with more than 130,000 students, IU is Germany's largest university, generating hundreds of millions of euros in revenue.
