Trilateral AI Conference 2024

12-13 November 2024, Tokyo, Japan

This German-Japanese-French conference will address how to make GenAI democratic, transparent and sustainable. How can we ensure inclusive access to AI technologies and foster the creation of public and open-source models? How can we enhance the transparency of AI algorithms? How can we navigate the dual challenges of reducing the environmental footprint of Generative AI and enhancing its social equity, to create technologies that are both green and fair?

The organizers invite participants from all disciplines, backgrounds and career stages to join the interdisciplinary discussions and kick-off projects for future collaborations. Registration for 13 November has reached maximum capacity and is now closed, so they'd appreciate it if you'd still register for 12 November.
