Thursday: How generative artificial intelligence is changing work and study

Dr. rer. medic. Robert Haase (ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig)

Modern AI-driven chat apps such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and others are changing the way we work unavoidably. For many, this means writing texts or programming more efficiently. Some people overestimate the quality of generated text and may not admit that they have not curated AI-generated text properly. About 20 years ago we had to learn how to “google” properly, today we need to learn how to “prompt”. In this lecture, we will give an insight into various challenges that the current AI revolution is imposing on us and a number of opportunities in this context. The lecture gives examples, tips and tricks for dealing with Generative AI and will be followed by a practical part. It is recommended that you bring your own laptop to take part.

Friday: DevOps Hands-on Training

Matthias Täschner (ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig) and Dr. rer. medic. Robert Haase (ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig)

Learn the basics of modern software development in this hands-on course: from version control with Git and automated testing to workflows for continuous integration and deployment. Discover topics such as reproducible environments and software licensing and apply your knowledge directly in interactive exercises. Perfect for anyone who wants to make their development processes more efficient and professional. Target group: Employees in industry and administration with basic knowledge of Python programming and the desire to work in a more structured and collaborative way and to sustainably increase code quality.
