Antonia Schlude

Antonia Schlude serves as a Scientific Officer in the Think Tank department at the Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt), where she leads research on digital transformation's societal and workplace impacts. Her work bridges academic research and policy development through rigorous empirical studies and public communication.

She completed her political science education across three major European institutions: Georg August University of Göttingen, Jagielloński University of Kraków, and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. During her academic training, she developed practical expertise through security and defense policy consulting engagements and political education initiatives.

Dr. Schlude's research program centers on two interconnected domains: workplace digitalization (particularly home office adoption patterns) and artificial intelligence integration across societal sectors. Her methodological approach combines large-scale population surveys with policy analysis, producing actionable insights for organizational leaders and policymakers. Recent work increasingly focuses on generative AI's societal implications, reflecting her ability to identify and investigate emerging digital transformation frontiers.

Her publication trajectory reveals a sophisticated evolution from pandemic-driven workplace studies toward forward-looking AI research. This shift demonstrates both responsiveness to current technological developments and strategic foresight in anticipating research needs. The consistent publication output across multiple formats (academic monographs, policy briefs, and public commentary) highlights her commitment to knowledge dissemination across academic and public spheres.

Through the bidt-Digitalbarometer initiative and related projects, Dr. Schlude contributes to establishing evidence-based metrics for Germany's digital transformation progress. Her work provides crucial benchmarks for evaluating policy effectiveness and identifying areas requiring intervention, making significant contributions to national digital strategy development.
