THE LAMARR CONFERENCE

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword of tech companies, but a driving force that is revolutionizing the way businesses operate in various industries. To provide you with deep insights and practical approaches, the Conference offers a series of focused sessions dedicated to “AI in Business”.

Learn how AI is modernizing management by accelerating and clarifying decision-making processes. Discover how AI-driven solutions in logistics can promote not only efficiency but also sustainability. Find out how AI can open up new opportunities for competitiveness and innovation for your company.

Another focus is on the AI Act, which sets new regulatory frameworks that every company needs to understand. We also cover the special requirements of AI applications in practical use.

The AI-based generation of texts, images, videos and other data has fundamentally changed the way in which people work and live within society. Not just since the emergence of ChatGPT, Generative AI (GenAI) has become a success factor in the technological competitiveness of industries, services and science with the speed of new ground-breaking developments increasing ever faster.

We will cover the current and forward-looking trends for you, look at underlying models as well as business, ethical and societal implications of GenAI. Dive into the topic through a series of keynotes, panel discussions and workshops with renowned experts.

For now more than 40 years, the ‘Zukunftskongress Logistik‘ (Future Congress on Logistics) has been a unique opportunity for the exchange between researchers and the industry.

With the expert knowledge of the organizers and partners, the congress offers a glimpse into the future of logistics and brings together the latest developments from society, research and practice. The focus is on the technological aspects of logistics and the congress is the ideal platform for networking across disciplines.

This year, the congress is part of AI24, providing attendees with an even greater venue and thus the opportunity to have fruitful exchanges with a yet even more diverse and larger group of experts. Be part of this established and yet new format.

Some of the hardest problems in our world stem from the Natural sciences – be it the complexity of the problem, the dimensionality or the sheer volume of data, as we find it with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, for example. Artificial Intelligence provides researchers with new approaches for tackling these problems.

Research in fields like Physics or the Life Sciences paves the way for new algorithms before these find their application in a multitude of scenarios outside their original domain.

Key highlights will offer you insights from the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project – the largest radio telescope ever built, with a budget of over a billion Euros – to expert discussions on the use of AI to fight serious diseases.

The Lamarr Fellows, recognized by the Lamarr Institute as six of the most innovative academic AI researchers in NRW, share their latest research and discuss the future of AI. Situated in the heart of Europe, North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) boasts a diverse scientific ecosystem.

Alongside over 40 Principal Investigators at the four Lamarr Institute locations, the Lamarr Fellows tackle significant contemporary challenges using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Learn more about the insights these leading NRW researchers offer in a dedicated session at the conference.

Due to the permeation of Artificial Intelligence in all areas of everyday life and work, the safety and trustworthiness of AI in its ethical use and effects are of utmost importance. As AI systems become more integrated into critical aspects of our daily routines and professional environments, ensuring their ethical deployment and mitigating potential risks are essential to fostering public confidence and harnessing AI’s full potential for societal benefit.

Experts at the conference will provide the participants with insights on the European AI Act, its judicial regulations and compliance requirements for science and industry as well as the latest developments of AI safety and the trustworthiness of intelligent technologies.

How can we set up future generations to shape Artificial Intelligence effectively and sustainably while upskilling the existing workforce in their dealings with new AI technologies? These questions and many more will be answered at the AI24.

Already now, it is of utmost importance to equip school children with the knowledge in handling and developing of AI technologies and their critical understanding thereof to secure the future generation of skilled workers. Meanwhile, universities and research facilities are the breeding ground for new developments of Artificial Intelligence that can boost the industrial and technological sector that already witnesses an increased need for upskilling. Our experts will address the challenges in AI education and training in a dedicated session.
