In order to expand the research network on artificial intelligence in Bavaria, 100 new AI chairs were established across the state. The first Bavarian LMU AI chairs are Prof. Chris Donkin, Ph.D., Prof. Dr. Stefan Feuerriegel, Prof. Dr. Daniel Gruen, Prof. Dr. Eyke Hüllermeier, Prof. James Kirby, Ph.D., Prof. Dr. Gitta Kutyniok, Prof. Dr. Björn Ommer, and Prof. Dr. Barbara Plank. After a welcome address by the president of LMU, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Bernd Huber, and opening remarks by the director of the Center for Advanced Studies, Prof. Dr. Christof Rapp, the newly appointed chairholders will introduce themselves and their various research approaches at this symposium. A panel moderated by Prof. Dr. Frauke Kreuter will then discuss the next generation of AI research at LMU, followed by a buffet.

The symposium is part of the CAS Research Focus "Next Generation AI".

Location: LMU, Große Aula, Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1, 80539 Munich. The program is available here.

The event is open to the public and we kindly ask you to register by sending a quick email to info@cas.lmu.de.
