Artificial Intelligence (AI) conquers all sectors of our private and business life. Important questions are: how do we deal with this situation, how far can we control AI or will it control us. Also, in the waste management sector AI is already used, in the operation of plants but also in education. What can we do to avoid misuse and unconditional trust. Does AI make mistakes that we might not realize on first sight?
In this interactive Focus Session we will try to find out how knowledgeable is AI in our field. The idea is to ask "Prof. Arti Intel" questions from the area of Waste to Energy. The answers we receive will be discussed by the invited expert group on stage and the audience. Questions will be asked by the moderator, the experts in the round and the audience. Such questions shall become more and more difficult in order to find out the limits of Prof. Arti Intel's knowledge.
This is an experiment with an open outcome and we all are very excited to see how this session will go.
