Invitation to Join the AI-HUB@LMU Task Forces

We warmly invite all members of the LMU community to get involved and help shape the future of AI at LMU.
AI is set to transform every aspect of university life; not just research, but also teaching, administration, student services, innovation, and beyond. We at the AI-HUB@LMU believe that Artificial Intelligence will play a key role in shaping the university of the future.
To support this transformation at LMU, the AI-HUB@LMU has launched four dedicated Task Forces, each focused on a key area and led by leading experts in the field. We warmly invite all members of the LMU community to get involved and help shape this exciting journey.

Leo Kestel reports about ADA, an initiative of the SODA chair that works together with the public sector in order to help enable state employees to solve data problems. The core of an ADA project is a highly customized workshop setting, in which experts from practice and data science are brought together to find a suitable solution for one certain problem. One main goal is for state employees to attend these sessions and understand how data scientists approach their kind of data issue. Meanwhile together with them as an
interdisciplinary team an efficient pragmatic solution is being developed.
