Artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping our daily lives. From digital assistants on cell phones to complex systems in mobility or industrial production - it is impossible to imagine life without this key technology.

The Bavarian State Minister of Science, Markus Blume, the Minister for Digital Affairs, Judith Gerlach, and the Minister of Economic Affairs, Hubert Aiwanger, are pleased to invite you to experience the latest trends and the outstanding potential of AI at first hand at AI.BAY 2023 - Bavarian International Conference on AI. Together with leading representatives of the Bavarian AI Network and prestigious guests from abroad, the future of AI will be put into perspective and international developments will be presented. AI.BAY 2023 will also provide a new forum for the entire Bavarian AI community and international AI experts.

The conference will take place on 23rd and 24th February 2023, at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. The list of participants promises exciting presentations and discussions on the podium as well as interesting talks alongside the event!

AI.BAY 2023 will be a hybrid event. You have the choice between attending the event in person at the Deutsches Museum or participating online via our event platform.

"Artificial intelligence is one of the future technologies of our time. Innovative strength in this area secures the prosperity and jobs of tomorrow. With the Hightech Agenda Bavaria and the Hightech Agenda Plus, the Free State is therefore investing a total of around 3.5 billion euros in a technology campaign that is unique in Germany. The AI Congress focuses on the topic of artificial intelligence and offers international experts from science, business and society a unique forum for exchange and networking."

"Artificial intelligence can become a gamechanger in many areas - from the fight against climate change to research into cancer therapies. Bavaria, with its outstanding scientific excellence, its countless talents and its innovative companies, offers the best conditions for this. We want to position the Free State here as a top location for artificial intelligence in the long term as well."

"AI.BAY 2023 will be what BAUMA is for the construction industry: the largest international showcase for excellence and progress in the field of artificial intelligence."

Markus Blume

Markus Blume Bavarian State Minister of Science and the Arts

"Artificial intelligence is now a key competence for almost every industry - from the automotive industry to mechanical engineering to trade. The expansion of applied AI research is therefore a central element of our Bavarian innovation policy. In this way, we are strengthening the AI network in the Free State and ensuring that Bavarian companies have access to the latest scientific findings from the broad research field on AI."

AI.BAY 2023, the Bavarian AI Conference, is split into two parts:

  • The first day, organized in form of a colourful and diverse single-session congress, is dedicated to present and discuss the broad spectrum of AI. It covers a wide range of topics including new trends in research, AI use cases in real life and ethical implications of this key technology. The program of the first day is comprehensible not only for AI experts, but for the AI-interested public.                                                                                                                       
  • The second day comprises the main scientific symposium. Leading AI researchers present their latest findings and invite you to discuss new scientific trends and applications in more depth. On this second day, the conference will be divided into three parallel sessions to allow a deeper dive into the following areas: AI and Life – Robotics, Engineering and Mobility – AI and Data Science.

On both days there will be an AI exhibition and endless networking opportunities.

Please note that the program is preliminary. Additions and changes are reserved.
Futher Information on speakers and exhibitors will be provided for registered participants shortly before the event.
