KI Challenge: Experience AI, Try It Out, and Learn from Each Other

The KI Challenge is a voluntary, hands-on program for KIT employees. At regular intervals, we publish practical tasks that encourage participants to use AI tools—such as language and image models—in creative and productive ways. The focus is not on perfection or prior knowledge, but rather on curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and the joy of learning together.

Each challenge addresses a specific question or a realistic application scenario from everyday work. The results are collected, selected submissions are presented, and the insights gained are shared with the community. This fosters a practical exchange of experiences surrounding the use of AI. After each challenge, the most interesting submissions are presented in a short webinar. Participants have the opportunity to present their approach, the tools they used, or helpful prompts. The webinars provide a space for questions, discussions, and the exchange of experiences.

Why participate?

The KI Challenge offers the opportunity to

• learn about specific ways to apply AI in your daily work,
• challenge yourself and show others what creative and practical solutions are possible with AI,
• practice using AI tools safely and thoughtfully,
• further develop your own skills in prompting and using AI applications,
• discover new ideas and best practices from other participants,
• to share experiences and knowledge within KIT,
• and to actively contribute to an open and constructive AI culture.

Challenge I: What does KIT mean to you?

Under the theme “What does KIT mean to you?”, participants were invited to capture their personal perspective on KIT in a symbolic image using an AI image generator and to accompany it with a fitting slogan. The submitted entries impressively demonstrate how differently KIT is perceived. The results include creative, surprising, and often very personal interpretations.

Here we present a selection of particularly outstanding submissions:
