How can you explain a complicated topic in a way that even people outside your department can understand? That’s exactly what the current KI Challenge is all about. Use AI to present a complex KIT topic in a clear and engaging way—as text, an infographic, a comic, a dialogue, or a storyboard. Explore how AI can help you with this and develop your own creative solution.
Submit your entry by September 13, 2026. The most compelling entries will then be presented in a webinar.
To the current KI-Challenge
Under the motto “Research, Discover, and Marvel,” 32 students spent their summer vacation at the Electrical Engineering Science Camp at KIT Karlsruhe, where they explored automation in everyday life. They learned the basics of the technology and smart homes, experimented with sensors and actuators, and developed their own projects using wood and 3D printing.
Excursions to Siemens and the IPE provided insights into research and industry. Recreational activities rounded out the program.
To More Science Camp Dates
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.
