  • Day 1: From No-Code ML to Artificial General Intelligence


  • Online

  • To open the AIxIA 2022, Gennadi Schermann, Head of Innovation and Digital Ecosystems at CyberForum e.V. and Caroline Chopinaud, General Manager of Hub France IA will present some of the most significant networks in the world of artificial intelligence: Hub France IA which federates the French ecosystem of AI actors, CyberForum e.V. one of the largest IT networks in Europe, as well as the network of the 12 Hubs of the Digital Hub Initiative.

  • Large AI models, such as GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion have changed the AI ecosystem rapidly and we are entering into a new era of AI. It becomes very important, that in Europe, we have the capabilities to do extensive research and development on large AI models that build the basis for numerous applications. Our initiative LEAM (Large European AI Models) aims at providing the necessary supercomputing capabilities as lighthouse for a fast growing ecosystem.

  • This session will present the different steps of creating an AI project within a company: use case identification, data strategy before implementing AI, and other critical steps.

  • No-code and low-code software development are approaches which makes AI development and implementation accessible to users without prior technical training. Applied to AI, it usually automates the process of cleaning data and making predictions from it, to optimize companies’ workflows.
