Flight plan for artificial intelligence in practice

Artificial intelligence offers companies completely new opportunities - the focus of the "Expedition AI 2.0" event was once again on what these are.  With Switzerland as the partner country for the second edition of the event, the bilateral exchange between the two countries was made possible.

The two-day specialist symposium offered domestic companies from a wide range of sectors an intensive discussion on the topic of artificial intelligence. Myths were dispelled and a clear picture of the implementation of an AI project was conveyed. In addition to exciting keynotes, start-up pitches and workshops, AI enthusiasts and solution providers were invited to network.
