Content
AI-Introduction Workshop (in-person, currently in German only):
Discover how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform your business in a comprehensive, practice-oriented way. During this workshop day, you will learn what generative and agentic AI can really do, which tools there are, and where they can create tangible value in everyday work. You will also apply your knowledge directly: identify specific areas of application in your field of work, assess effort and benefit, and develop realistic approaches for implementing AI in your organization.
Fundamentals of Trustworthy AI (online, self-learning):
In this one-hour webinar, you will receive an overview of what constitutes lawful AI and which ethical considerations need to be taken into account. By the end of the webinar, participants will understand the key requirements arising from the AI Act, data protection law, and copyright law — both when AI is trained and when it is merely used. In addition, the webinar will show how upholding core ethical principles helps organizations keep pace with technological developments in a responsible way.
Technical Introduction to Data and Systems (online, self-learning):
These self-learning materials offer a practical, beginner-friendly overview of technical foundations needed for AI adoption. Learners gain an understanding of what data is, how different types of data are collected and stored, and why data quality is essential for meaningful AI results. They explore the role of data throughout the AI lifecycle, learn how training, validation, and testing work and how issues such as insufficient or biased data can affect outcomes. The module introduces the basics of AI-ready systems and infrastructure, explaining in accessible terms how data sources, databases, integration layers, and compute resources come together to support AI applications. By the end, participants can assess their organization’s data and system readiness and understand what is needed to move toward AI experimentation.
Join the AI ecosystem (online community):
Join the community to network, exchange ideas and find talent or like minded people who are also tackling AI adoption in their day to day workflows.
