All workshops take place in parallel

Workshop #1 AI Systems Engineering - How to Proceed in the Light of the EU AI Act?

by Fraunhofer IOSB; Hochschule Karlsruhe - HKA

The legislative process of the European AI Act was accompanied by a controversial discussion about its effect on innovation and acceptance of AI systems. Now, meanwhile adopted, the question is how to deal with it in a constructive way, also in the context of the related EU Data Act and the Data Governance Act. In this workshop the AI Act will be discussed with respect to its consequences on AI Systems Engineering. Which are the guidelines to follow by AI System engineers, providers and users?

Workshop #2: Automated Intelligence for Safe and Resilient Energy Systems: AI Tools for Reinforcement Learning and Auto-ML in Practice

by KIT- Karlsruhe Institute of Technology; Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Wuerttemberg (ZSW)

Explore the practical application of reinforcement learning and AutoML! In this workshop, the KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and the ZSW (Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg) will present how the IT framework FRAMESS and tool KI-Lab.EE can be used to solve problems directly from practice with automated AI. Both tools were developed in-house at the institutes. KI-Lab.EE is freely available, while FRAMESS is not freely accessible but can be adapted to specific system requirements in customer projects. You will first receive an introduction to the respective tools and then solve typical problems independently with our support.

Workshop #3: Future Mobility: Harnessing Innovation for Intelligent and Secure Mobility Solutions - an Immersive Workshop in Future Mobility

by FZI Research Center for Information Technology

In this dynamic session, we'll showcase cutting-edge innovations in mobility, autonomous driving, and logistics, driven by advancements in AI and cybersecurity technologies. Participants will do an immersive tour in the FZI House of Living Labs, getting to know sustainable and inclusive demonstrators and will engage in lively discussions and collaborative brainstorming sessions using participatory formats to explore emerging trends and co-create ideas to shape the future of mobility. This workshop is an opportunity to be at the forefront of transformative change in the mobility landscape.

Workshop #4: Navigating opportunities and challenges of AI Assistants - Transforming Business Processes and Building Trust

by CyberForum e.V.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing every industry, fundamentally altering how businesses function and compete. While AI Assistants are on everyone's lips, and have proven their ability to answer complex questions about data and documents, how can they help you in your business, and what pitfalls should you avoid at all costs? And in this context, can you put trust in AI for your business? - This event brings together experts and practitioners to explore the transformative potential of AI of modern enterprises. It will begin with a workshop focused on AI specialized systems like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), held by Stefan Suwelack and Daniel Klitzke from Renumics. The event will continue with a discussion session moderated by Jens Beyer from LAVRIO.solutions and Robin Weitemeyer from Hochschule Karlsruhe (HKA), providing a deep dive into the critical issue of trust in AI based on a use case from the Kompetenzzentrum KARL, fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas on ensuring the reliability and credibility of AI systems.

Workshop #5: Transforming Governance: The Impact of AI on Public Sector  (IN GERMAN)

by TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe GmbH (TRK), CAS Software AG

How can Artificial Intelligence transform the public sector and make it future-proof? In our workshop "Transforming Governance: AI Trends in the Public Sector," we explore the latest trends and solutions in AI and their applications in public administration. This workshop offers a unique platform to discuss innovative approaches and learn from each other. This workshop is designed for professionals and leaders not only in the public sector who want to understand and leverage the potential of AI technologies for their organizations. Join us and actively shape the future of public administration or your organization!

Workshop #6: How to Establish European Innovation and Business Collaborations: Successful Partnering in Practice

by Steinbeis Europa Zentrum (SEZ)

This workshop will take place in hybrid. You can either participate on-site or online. During this workshop, we will jointly explore what the benefits of international, especially European research, technology and innovation (RTDI) collaboration are, how pitfalls can be circumvented and how successful collaborations can be initiated in practice. The workshop will be very interactive and we are looking forward to investigating which cultural similarities and differences the participants have observed already during past collaborations and which concrete collaboration ideas they are eager to further explore in the future. The workshop is open to and will benefit from participation of companies, both small and large ones, as well as public organisations and other stakeholders
