It was a remarkable symposium! Yesterday, relAI members had the privilege of hosting numerous guests at the Haus der Bayerischen Wirtschaft to reflect on the topic of responsible transformation through generative AI in science, industry, and society.
The event began with warm welcome addresses from the relAI Directors, State Secretary Dr. Rolf-Dieter Jungk (BMFTR, virtual), and the presidents of our two universities, Prof. Thomas Hofmann (TUM) and Prof. Matthias Tschöp (LMU).
Inspiring keynote talks from Prof. Frank Fitzek (TU Dresden) and relAI Fellows Prof. Julia Schnabel (Helmholtz, TUM) and Prof. Stefan Feuerriegel (LMU) addressed reliability challenges in the areas of communication networks, medical imaging, and decision-making, respectively. Additionally, relAI Fellow Prof. Dr. Enkelejda Kasneci (TUM) introduced the exciting new relAI research area “Learning & Instruction,” which focuses specifically on AI in Education.
In a captivating panel discussion, Dr. Philipp Baaske (LMU, VP Entrepreneurship), relAI Fellow Prof. Claudia Eckert (acatech, President), Anna Kopp (Microsoft Digital Germany, CIO/CDO), and Maria Sievert (founder of inveox) exchanged views on balancing innovation, safety, and scale, highlighting their perspectives on the present and future of governance, certification, and ecosystem responsibility.
relAI students took the stage to share their experiences as members of relAI. Tzu-Yuan Huang, Amine Ketata, Sofiia Nikolenko, and Johanna Topalis talked about how relAI has influenced their careers and the opportunities it has provided for their professional development. In addition, our guests had the opportunity to engage in discussions with relAI students during the poster session, learning more about relAI research.
🙏 Thank you to all the speakers, moderator Petra Bindl, and relAI students for their contributions to the success of this event.
