In our 3.5-hour interactive workshop, we will work together in groups and use a real or fictitious case study to develop a workflow for content creation that you can implement or adopt directly for yourself. Agile methods will be used for the strategy part and then the results will be put into practice using AI and other tools Various formats (text, images, video) are created, which ideally build on each other so that a workflow can be designed as efficiently as possible.

With the lecture, Martin Lautsch, an experienced AI expert at the Brandenburg Technical University, led the audience through a historical overview of artificial intelligence and thus gave an insight into the development of this technology from its beginnings to today's modern applications. Particular attention was paid to the functioning of machine learning and deep learning, as central pillars of AI. Lautsch explained how computers with algorithms and neural networks can independently recognize patterns and learn from them to perform complex tasks.

Following the theoretical introduction, Lautsch was able to take the audience on an exciting journey through various AI applications in everyday life. Participants learned how Artificial Intelligence works and how it plays a role in numerous areas such as voice assistants (e.g. Alexa and Siri), medical technology, the care industry and even in the development of autonomous vehicles. The many real-world applications of AI made it clear how far the technology is already anchored in our daily lives and what potential it offers for the future.

After the presentation there was an intensive and stimulating discussion about the opportunities and risks of AI with a variety of questions. On the one hand, the enormous opportunities offered by AI were discussed, such as improving diagnoses in medicine, automating processes in industry or improving education and research. On the other hand, the concern was also expressed that AI could replace jobs in the future and increase inequality in society. The participants discussed intensively how society could deal with these challenges in order to benefit from the advantages of AI without losing sight of the risks. Lautsch was able to be well-founded about the development of AI not only in science but also contribute his knowledge of political decisions. The debate about the ethical implications and how to use AI responsibly was a central topic at the end of the event. How can you ensure that AI benefits not only the big tech companies, but also the general population? What rules and regulations must be created in order to protect privacy and avoid discrimination by AI?

At the end of the evening, it was emphasized once again how important it is that both experts and the general public create awareness of developments in the field of AI. Only by working together with this technology can we ensure that AI will be able to play a positive and sustainable role in our society. 
Overall, the AI evening in Spremberg was a complete success, which not only enriched the participants with knowledge, but also stimulated them to think about the future of AI and its impact on our lives. If you want to learn more about the topic, you should also check out the future events of the EDIH pro_digital.

This evening was organized together with the Spremberg Presence Centre and the District Folk School in Spremberg. 
 

Future machines and systems will work with highly reliable and real-time communication and support extensive connectivity. Especially in the areas of IoT and mobile robotics, the new mobile communications standard will offer additional value creation opportunities. With an existing 5G campus, the BTU has the opportunity to install 5G in public spaces orin the factory hall.

Target group: SMEs

Speakers: Dr.-Ing. habil. Christian Herglotz and Florian Fricke

The future is digital – and the time to act is now! Companies face the challenge of modernising their processes and integrating new technologies in order to remain competitive in the long term. Artificial intelligence (AI) and digitization offer enormous opportunities to drive innovation and make business models future-proof. But how can your companysuccessfully implement this change?

On November 26, 2024, at the Wildau University of Technology campus as part of Transferweek Berlin-Brandenburg, you will experience how AI and digital technologies can unfold potential in companies as a strategic future orientation! Together with experts, numerous examples show how companies use Chacan actively use digitalisation to increase your competitiveness.

Here's what to expect:

Expert knowledge of regional, national and European funding opportunities to financially support the use of AI and digital technologies in your company.
Insights into successful practical projects, incompanies are already achieving innovative successes through the use of AI and digitization.
World café sessions that show you practical ways in which universities can support you in implementing your digitisation strategy.
Laboratory tour through the "Wildauer Smart Production", where you can see how data-driven methodshow deep learning, machine learning and the use of cooperative robots can revolutionise your everyday work.

Take the opportunity to find out about the latest developments and specifically shape your entrepreneurial future! As part of the get-together, we also offer you the opportunity to meet with experts andExchange like-minded people and make valuable contacts.

We look forward to your participation!

Eligible are, for example, the construction of new facilities as well as the expansion, modernization and diversification of existing facilities. In addition, start-ups are supported with a start-up money. Another building block of the funding program is advisory services that companies need to prepare for expansion, modernization, and diversificationand execute. Sectors such as engineering firms (if they are subject to trade tax), crafts, construction, retail, services, catering, hotel and IT are eligible to apply. 

Which specific content is eligible, which processing times are to be planned and who can support the application are just a few of many farquestions, which are answered by the speaker Heinrich Weißhaupt (ILB). In the second part, Sylvana Nimtz (Elektro Nimtz) will report on her practical experience in applying for funding. You are also welcome to contribute your individual questions and, if available, your own experiences.

The event takes place in cooperation with the city of Lauchhammer.
We would be delighted to welcome you to our business meetings.

Numerous companies in Brandenburg are currently looking for a suitable successor and are increasingly relying on young people with innovative ideas. To this end, the AlEx | Alumni for Excellence team at TH Wildau organised the 2nd Matching Day. Numerous companies came to discuss digitisation processes and Lucie Töpfer, Marc Seiffert and Munay Zamorano talked about their hurdles and successes in corporate succession. Our highlights were the committed participants and the subsequent, intensive networking and dynamic exchanges. 
 

The event was supported by: 
IHK Ostbrandenburg, IHK Potsdam, IHK Cottbus, Chamber of Crafts Potsdam, Chamber of Crafts Cottbus, Bürgerschaftsbank Brandenburg, Grund in Brandenburg, WFG Dahme-Spreewald mbH

Last week, EDIH pro_digital had the chance to meet up with AIRE (AI & Robotics Estonia) in Tallinn. Tobias Pradel, our new EDIH pro_digital member, sat down with Indrek Orav and Reet Pärgmäe from the Estonian EDIH to discuss exciting opportunities for collaboration, including plans for a shared event focused on AI and robotics. AIRE is also specialized in robotics, combined with artificial intelligence and we are happy to connect and exchange our expertize in the future.

"It was great to connect with our Estonian counterparts and exploring ways how to support innovation and technology development in both regions," said Tobias.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership!
