That was "AI in Practice"

The speakers provided customers and partners with practical insights into the use of AI through application scenarios, process presentations, and business models. Among others, Evgenij Nazarenus from Nortal AG presented an example from Estonia in his lecture “Learning from the best – sustainability in many facets.” It focused on how sustainable AI and resource efficiency are being used in public administration in Estonia. Hagen Lager from the University of Bremen gave an overview of the current state of research on cognition-based robots. These can support people in their everyday lives, for example, by setting and clearing the breakfast table. In addition, Eike Humpert from VfL Wolfsburg revealed which data plays a role in the fan journey. Insights can be derived from the data, enabling a targeted and needs-oriented approach to fans. Two workshops were held in parallel with the presentations: an interactive workshop on image recognition with MS365 by Sven Sieverding (HEC) and an IoT simulation game conducted by Cornelius Stiegler (team neusta). In addition to actively enriching knowledge through presentations, discussions, and workshops, the networking breaks were also used for exchanges and in-depth discussions.
An important message that ran through the event was that people are always at the center. It is important for companies to get their employees on board with the use of AI from the outset and to dispel any prejudices about the technology. In particular, the concern that artificial intelligence would replace us humans is unjustified, according to the experts during a panel discussion on the topic of “How to get started.”
