AI Frontiers: From Infrastructure to Scientific Innovation

Agenda:

1. Recent News in AI
   Stay updated on the latest happenings in the world of AI.
2. Bottom-up synthetic biology and bio-inspired computing: A perfect match?
   Jan Steinkühler, CAU
   After recent Nobel Prizes in AI for Physics and Chemistry, we’re taking a deep dive into the transformative role ML plays in scientific research. In this session, Jan will explore how his work in membrane biophysics, synthetic biology, and bio-inspired neuromorphic computing is leading the way in creating new technologies inspired by biological systems like cell membranes and the human brain. Want to know more? Chat with Jan's group
3. Building the Backbone: Overview of Cloud and Hardware Solutions for Model Training and Inference
   Jeremy von Winckelmann, FH Kiel
   Jeremy will explore the infrastructure side of machine learning and large language models (LLMs). He will guide us through the essential hardware and cloud solutions needed to successfully train ML models or deploy LLM tools. Whether you're just starting out or scaling up your projects, this session will provide valuable insights into setting up the optimal environment for your AI initiatives.
4. Awarding of opencampus.sh Machine Learning Degree Certificates
   Join us in celebrating our successful participants, who will receive their Degree Certificates.

After the talks, we will offer as usual

• complimentary pizza and drinks to encourage networking and further conversations.

Expanding Our Community
We're excited to announce our plans to occasionally host meetups outside of Kiel!
