Generative AI: Pathways to Democratization, Transparency and Sustainability
© DWIH Tokyo
In an era defined by unprecedented advancements in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), understanding its implications is imperative. The transformative capabilities of GenAI, from creative content generation to automation and optimization, present boundless opportunities. However, with these promises come ethical challenges and societal impacts that demand careful consideration. Discussing GenAI is not just a conversation about technology; it is a crucial dialogue about shaping the future responsibly.
This German-Japanese-French conference will address how to make GenAI democratic, transparent and sustainable. How can we ensure inclusive access to AI technologies and foster the creation of public and open-source models? How can we enhance the transparency of AI algorithms? How can we navigate the dual challenges of reducing the environmental footprint of Generative AI and enhancing its social equity, to create technologies that are both green and fair?
We invite researchers from all disciplines, backgrounds and career stages to join the interdisciplinary discussions and kick-off projects for future collaboration!
Call for Poster Presentations
[Deadline: 2024/05/31] Are you pursuing a project or new idea from research or industry in the field of GenAI? Are you looking for cooperation partners from Japan, Germany or France?
