Join us for an enlightening exploration into the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education. This conference brings together leading researchers, academics and practitioners to discuss transdisciplinary AI education and research.
Collaboration between the IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria and Ars Electronica began in 2023 with the FOUNDING LAB, formed to rethink the future of universities. The work continues in this year’s conference which will highlight current practices and stimulate international discussions that can shape the future of AI in education.
