Interactive programme

AI Mirror – How would you imagine yourself?
Artificial neural networks are already generating images in real time – but what happens when people themselves become part of this process? The AI Mirror makes the functioning of artificial intelligence visible and playfully demonstrates its possibilities and limitations. The installation provides a direct insight into image generation and encourages reflection and discussion about the technology and its effects.

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

The AI Cooking Studio: Create individualized learning games with ChatGPT and Co.
The AI Cooking Studio offers a playful approach to creating effective prompts for educational games using LLMs such as ChatGPT. Based on prepared ingredients, visitors can “cook” their own educational game, which can be taken away as a recipe card at the end and developed further. The event thus opens up new possibilities for the use of AI in a university learning context.

Evening programme

In Zurich, there will be a get-together in the evening after the event.
