How does data get into AI? (organized by the KMI project at InfAI) 
Chair:
Jörg Schließer
(Institute for Applied Informatics),
Sandra Schumann
(Institute for Applied Informatics) and
Steven Lehmann
(Institute for Applied Informatics)
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.

Nadja Hemming
(Institute for Applied Informatics)
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.

Competitiveness in the digital transformation (organized by the KMI project at InfAI)
Franziska Hein-Pensel

Sebastian Schuhmann
(Institute for Applied Informatics) and
Stefan Fehser
(Netzwerkbüro | Bildung im Strukturwandel in Mitteldeutschland – BiSMit)
The economy is in the midst of a far-reaching transformation process characterized by digitalization, a shortage of skilled workers and the disappearance of traditional industries. For companies in the Central German mining region in particular, this presents particular challenges for competitiveness - but also great opportunities. An interactive workshop will show you specific strategies and generate ideas on how you can make targeted and successful use of the structural change for your own company and strengthen your competitiveness in the future.
