As Central Europe’s first scientific conference on Artificial Intelligence for application in industry and logistics in particular, “AI24 – The Lamarr Conference” connects science and business on the regional, national and international stage. The conference will take place on September 4 and 5, 2024 in cooperation with the “Zukunftskongress Logistik” in Dortmund’s Westfalenhallen. Highlights of the two-day program include keynote and introductory lectures by internationally renowned experts from research, business and politics, the presentation of the “Lamarr Award” to Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Sebastian Thrun as well as themed sessions, panel discussions and workshops on current developments, global trends and innovative applications of Artificial Intelligence.

8.8 million hours of computing capacity on the new high-performance computer MareNostrum 5 at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center: The goal of the EuroLingua-GPT project is to train large multilingual open-source language models.

At the Hannover Messe 2024, Fraunhofer IAIS and Fraunhofer Big Data AI Alliance will present two exhibits on trustworthy AI solutions.

The new white paper "Artificial intelligence in the trauma room: How LLM agents and foundation models can help with the treatment of severely injured patients" explains how AI can relieve the burden on the healthcare team.

Moving away from resource-intensive visual and manual quality control and toward efficient inspection using a magnetic field and AI.

With the aim of securing the AI functions in highly automated vehicles in the best possible way, automotive manufacturers, suppliers, technology companies and research institutions, including Fraunhofer IAIS, have been working together since summer 2019 in the "KI Absicherung" project. Now the project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, is completing its work as the first of four projects in the "AI family" of the VDA flagship initiative for autonomous and connected driving. The research results will be presented in Berlin on June 23.

For the design of trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI), companies can now access Munich Re's "CertAI" offering. The validation service enables companies to develop, use or acquire trustworthy AI systems for their business success. The Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS supports CertAI as a technical partner in the development of the offering and contributes its expertise in AI assurance and AI certification.

Ready for quantum technologies: Fraunhofer IAIS supports companies in preparing for the challenges and the changes of the quantum age. For this purpose, the scientists have developed the "IAIS Evo Annealer" with which companies, e.g. from the field of logistics, finance or production, can already use the potential of quantum technologies today without having to access a quantum computer. The technology will be presented for the first time at the "Laser World of Photonics 2022" from April 26 to 29, 2022. The Fraunhofer IAIS exhibit can be found at the joint booth of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in the special area "World of Quantum". Interested companies are invited to bring their own mathematical problems and issues and have them computed on site.

Data protection, risk or compliance management: New AI technologies present companies and developers with new challenges. The Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS has now published a study, which compares the draft of the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) standard for AI management systems and current guidelines.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS received the "Most Influential Scholar Award" in the annual ranking of the online e-magazine AI 2000. By using computer algorythms, the AMiner system generates rankings based on citation frequencies of over 250 000 renowned scientists in the most important publications.
