This year’s Long Night of Science Berlin and Potsdam took place on 22-June-2024. We showcased our latest research and projects at the Center for Tangible AI and Digitalisation (ZEKI). As part of the Long Night of Science, presentations at ZEKI centered around innovations in autonomous driving, smart office equipment and care technologies, demonstrating their potential to transform everyday life.

Meanwhile, the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Competence Centre focused on advances in large language models, intelligent conversational systems and explainable AI. We showcased dialogue models that recognize user intent and efficiently navigate conversations to provide relevant information. Practical demonstrations showed the ability of conversational systems to adapt to new objects and user-specific queries, increasing their usefulness in various applications. Discussions with visitors revealed a wide range of expectations and opinions about AI, reflecting a broad public interest in how these technologies are developed and deployed.

Compared to previous years, the number of visitors increased significantly, demonstrating the high level of interest in AI research and its potential to have a significant impact on various aspects of modern life. Overall, the discussion at the Long Night of Science allowed interesting discussions about the future of AI, emphasizing innovation and the ethical dimensions of technology deployment.
