Smart Meetings

As part of the GenAI@KIT project, the KIT Senate is testing AI-assisted meeting minutes generation for the first time. The target is to determine how AI can assist in drafting meeting minutes and what requirements must be met for its responsible use. Data processing is carried out exclusively on KIT’s local systems. During the pilot phase, the AI-generated drafts will be compared with the manual minutes that continue to be prepared in parallel to evaluate quality, effort, and benefits. The pilot project aims to gather practical experience and gain insights for potential future use cases.

FORSAID

In our animated video for FORSAID, we explain how smart insect traps and genetic analysis are used for the early detection of invasive forest pests.
Through media:impact, we support researchers and teachers at KIT in effectively communicating their content. Whether it’s an animated video, an explanatory video, or a video-based online course—we guide you from the initial idea through to the finished production and work with you to develop media that reach your target audience and have sustainability.

ZML Newsletter, Issue 02/2026

AI is advancing rapidly and constantly opening up new opportunities for universities: from assistance with everyday tasks to AI agents that can independently take over workflows. At the same time, new questions are arising—such as those regarding legal frameworks, effective communication with AI, and the development of relevant skills. In this issue, we highlight current developments, programs, and initiatives that address these topics. We also invite you to participate in the second AI Challenge, provide insights into the work of media:impact, and report on other upcoming courses.

From Clutter to Clarity – AI for Knowledge Work

From Clutter to Clarity – AI for Knowledge Work

August 07, 2026 10:00 - 12:00Online
For people with prior knowledge of or experience with AI
 
Are you already using AI to draft texts, generate ideas, or support routine tasks? Would you like to learn how AI can help you make sense of large amounts of information, identify key insights, and support informed decision-making? Then this webinar is exactly right for you.

In knowledge-intensive work, valuable information is often scattered across reports, meeting minutes, emails, policies, project documents, teaching materials, or research literature. In this interactive webinar, you will explore how generative AI can help you process, structure, compare, and evaluate information more efficiently.

Participants will have the opportunity to apply these techniques to realistic scenarios and reflect on the strengths and limitations of AI-supported knowledge work.

By the end of the webinar, you will be able to use AI not only as a writing assistant, but also as a powerful tool for analysing information, supporting decisions, and managing knowledge more effectively.

Please note: Previous experience with generative AI is required for successful participation. This webinar focuses on advanced application scenarios rather than AI fundamentals.
 
You will receive the link to the Zoom meeting by email the evening before.
 
Prerequisites:
Access to and experience with KI-Toolbox and Copilot Understanding of the principles of prompting as well as experience with some chances and challenges of gen AI. Participation in the preceeding webinars  or comparable knowledge. Stable internet connection, functioning microphone, and a device with a sufficiently large screen.  
Note: The webinar series is designed to build progressively: the first sessions are intended for beginners, followed by intermediate and advanced sessions. You are also welcome to join later sessions if you already have the required prior knowledge.
