AI-Edu:Stage Zurich
In Zurich, the stage of ETH and Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich focused on the application of artificial intelligence to support university teaching: specific tools and platforms, techniques and technologies, structures and infrastructures. Participants looked forward to a lively exchange on this next step in the digitalization of teaching and learning. The AI Edu:Stage in Zurich will take place on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
Please note: The programme of the face-to-face event in Zurich was mainly in German.

Dates: The program started on 14 May at 09:00 and ends around 17:00.

Interactive programme
AI Mirror – How would you imagine yourself?
It is already possible to generate any images from a prompt in real time using artificial neural networks. But what would it be like to enter these generated images yourself? By linking them to a depth image, we created the AI Mirror. With the interactive installation, we wanted to playfully show the possibilities and limits of this new field, as well as provide insights into the inner workings of AI through visualizations and thus encourage reflection and exchange.

Comparative Assessment – Markov modeling with robotic instruments
The installation explored the creative interaction between man and machine. Mechatronic instruments reacted to inputs from the audience, which are further developed with the help of Markov models and neural networks. The result was a dialog that reveals artistic synergies between human intuition and machine precision. The project questioned authorship, control and the creative potential of algorithms.

The AI Cooking Studio: Create individualized learning games with ChatGPT and Co.
Welcome to the AI cooking studio! I will brang along the ingredients for a good learning game using LLMs such as ChatGPT, and the participants could “cook” their own learning game on this basis. At the end, the “recipe card” could be taken home and developed further there.
