The Program

How does data get into AI? (organized by the KMI project at InfAI)

09:00 - 10:30 | Room 259 | German

Dr Sandra Schumann will give an introductory keynote entitled ‘AI: hype or tool?’, which takes a critical look at the question of whether AI is an overrated trend or actually a useful tool that supports people in their everyday lives and in the world of work. When used correctly, AI can improve a variety of work processes or support automation, but the question of the data basis poses challenges for SMEs in particular. The interactive workshop that immediately follows addresses these barriers, sheds light on the technical aspects of developing AI applications with a focus on the data required for this and offers specific assistance.

AI for everyday work - practical tools and sharing experiences (organized by the KMI project at InfAI)

11:00 - 12:30 | Room 259 | German

This workshop provides a practical demonstration of how AI tools can make everyday work easier. Participants will gain contextual knowledge and the basics of generative AI such as ChatGPT and the use of other freely accessible AI tools. They will also learn about ‘prompting’ techniques to better understand how they work. In the subsequent practical part, participants can interact with the AI tools and acquire skills that can be integrated into various areas of everyday work.
