About the award and the AI-Camp 2021
The current discussion about the future of AI does not only involve established AI experts. Many “AI newcomers” are also shaping the theoretical and practical orientation of AI from their respective disciplines with new ideas. It is precisely these young thought leaders that the Gesellschaft für Informatik is looking for. With this award, they honor a total of 10 outstanding researchers in universities, research institutions, associations as well as foundations and companies who are already driving the development of AI in Germany with their innovative ideas.
The AI-Camp is organized by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Gesellschaft für Informatik e. V. (GI). On April 27, 2021, AI talents – up to 35 years old – will meet renowned AI experts* from all over the world in Berlin and in the digital space. In interactive fishbowl discussions, debating sessions and hands-on workshops, the free science convention will address transdisciplinary future issues from the fields of society, sustainability, production, science, health, mobility, art and media.
