Ziya at the final AI BARsession 2024: Innovation meets ethics

Have you ever attended an AI BARsession that combines innovation, philosophy, and networking?

On Tuesday evening, the final AI BARsession for 2024 took place and impressively demonstrated how closely ethics and innovation are intertwined.

In the atmospheric setting of the Domicil, the Dortmund digital network gathered to discuss the topic of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (Explainable AI, XAI).

Prof. Dr. Eva Schmidt from TU Dortmund and the Lamarr Institute illustrated in her presentation how important explainability is for building trust in AI systems. Especially in sensitive areas such as medicine or justice, traceability is a central ethical factor for deploying AI technologies fairly and transparently.

As session partners, we were invited to present our latest AI products and projects

- DatenLabel: An AI pipeline for efficient AI projects.
- Taila: The AI content assistant that speaks your style.
- AI Services: Customized AI projects and solutions.

Our session motto:

Democratize the Power of AI in Your Company!

With intuitive tools that enable automation, an AI pipeline for individual projects, and quick sprints to identify low-hanging fruits, we help companies use AI effectively.

The Wirtschaftsfoerderung Dortmund once again excelled with excellent organization and a complimentary buffet at Domicil. The highlight of the session, however, was the inspiring talk on ethics in AI.

How can we take on ethical responsibility alongside the growing power of AI?

Our initiative at Ziya shows that this is possible:

  • Transparency and traceability: Algorithms and data sources must be open and understandable.
  • Regulation and governance: The EU AI Act should serve as a minimum standard.
  • Data protection and GDPR compliance: AI made in Germany stands for trust and security.

One of the highlights of the BARsession was our platform DatenLabel, which enables companies to identify use cases in the Idea Hub, manage data efficiently, and develop production-ready models.

Why Is an AI Pipeline So Important for Mid-Sized Companies?

Many companies face the challenge of managing an individual AI project with unstructured data and newly assembled AI teams and data scientists. Our AI pipeline is a kind of project management for AI projects. AI models are implemented faster and more efficiently without failing due to data overload and management chaos.

The pipeline steps include in particular:

  • Identification of profitable AI use cases
  • Data management and curation
  • AI prototypes and evaluation
  • AI model benchmarking

AI NRW and AI Dortmund are not just buzzwords for us, but a movement that we actively help shape.

Let us harness the possibilities of AI together and make your company fit for the future!

Make your company fit and let it grow digitally stronger.
