The\u00a0Speinshart Scientific Center for AI and SuperTech\u00a0is pleased to host the\u00a0AI Ethics in Practice Retreat, an intensive five-day programme developed by the\u00a0Technical University of Ingolstadt (THI)\u00a0as part of the\u00a0eTHIcs Digitalisation College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Designed for advanced Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s students in technical disciplines, the retreat combines scientific excellence with practical application to explore one of the defining challenges of our time: the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set against the unique backdrop of Speinshart Monastery, participants will examine key topics including\u00a0AI bias and fairness, transparency and explainability, responsibility and governance, human\u2013AI interaction, creativity, and the environmental impact of AI. Throughout the programme, students will work in interdisciplinary teams to develop comprehensive\u00a0Ethical Impact Assessments (EIAs)\u00a0for real-world AI applications, supported by leading researchers and invited experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than a traditional summer school, the retreat is designed as an immersive environment for critical reflection, interdisciplinary collaboration, and hands-on problem solving. By bringing together students from THI and other Bavarian universities, the programme also aims to strengthen long-term networks in AI ethics research and foster a new generation of researchers and developers who regard ethical responsibility as a fundamental component of technological innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first retreat is planned for\u00a03\u20137 August 2026, with a second edition scheduled for\u00a0early 2027. The Speinshart Scientific Center looks forward to welcoming participants for an inspiring week of scientific exchange, dialogue, and collaborative learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
