How does artificial intelligence work in practice, what actually happens in a “makerspace” and what is the function of a BauLab?
Dr. Jonas Geissler, member of the German Bundestag, found out during a tour of the university transfer facility “CREAPOLIS” and the new CRAI (Coburg University Research Center for Responsible Artificial Intelligence).
Prof. Dr. Stefan Gast, President of Coburg University of Applied Sciences, and Dr. Markus Neufeld, Head of the Transfer & Entrepreneurship Department, gave Dr. Geissler a tour of the university’s facilities at the old freight depot.
The federal politician was impressed by how CREAPOLIS connects people inside and outside the university and by the creative opportunities that are open to all citizens.
Geissler was also very interested in the BauLab under the direction of Prof. Dr. Rainer Hirth, where a model project for a kindergarten is currently being created, which will be built primarily from natural raw materials.
Geissler was particularly impressed by the possibilities that modern AI now offers.
After a tour of the CRAI building, Geissler said: “I am really very grateful that I was able to take such an exciting look behind the scenes of this important topic of AI. Very fascinating.”
