TNG AI Horizons - June 2024

To what extent is our life influenced by AI generated and modified persona? Would we notice it, if the person on the other side of a zoom call is real or not? Does it matter, if the tutor of your online course is completely artificially generated?
If these questions got you interested, or if you would simply enjoy an evening with bright people, two amazing presentations, along with some pizza and drinks, we've got you covered!
