    “No thrust of AI without trust in AI”

    Generative AI is transforming the way we live and work—tools like ChatGPT and AI-generated images are already part of our daily routines. But with this rapid progress come important questions. What are the potential risks of generative AI? Can we rely on its suggestions and decisions? How can we mitigate the misuse or even the harm of GAI?

    The first CUSO TrustGAI Workshop will explore these issues, focusing on the trustworthiness of generative AI through a mix of expert talks and hands-on sessions led by international scholars. We warmly invite academics and practitioners to join us:

    Learn about the latest developments,

    Play with the latest technologies, and

    Connect with others working at the intersection of AI and society.

    Featured Speakers

    Join us for inspiring talks from world-renowned experts at the forefront of GAI research.
