Launching GenAI Talks: Where AI Enthusiasts Connect and Innovate

Tuesday, 27 August 2024 • Felix T.J. Dietrich

On August 19th, our research group hosted the first session of the GenAI Talks series at the ITüpferl in the MI Building. The event aimed at fostering connections among students, researchers, and industry professionals interested in Generative AI.

The evening featured six insightful lightning talks, each lasting around five minutes, followed by lively discussions and networking opportunities. The diversity of topics covered—from biases in Generative AI to the intricacies of multimodal LLMs—sparked rich exchanges of ideas and set the tone for future sessions.

We were delighted to see 14 participants, who not only shared their knowledge but also built new connections, paving the way for potential collaborations. The variety of perspectives and the quality of discussions highlighted the strong interest in advancing AI research within our community.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making this event meaningful, with special thanks to all the presenters for their engaging and thought-provoking talks.

The next session is already scheduled for September 19th, 17:00-18:30. We encourage anyone interested in joining or presenting to get in touch with Felix T.J. Dietrich. We look forward to seeing you there!

Elisabeth Friesinger presenting on bias in Generative AI, emphasizing the importance of ethical AI practices.
