Under the motto “Towards Responsible and Sovereign AI for Industry,” the focus will be on responsible and practical AI solutions.
The Research Center for Artificial Intelligence in Science and Society (RAIS²) at the University of Bayreuth will host the UBT AI Day 2026 on September 25, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on the university campus in Building RW I.
