DESCRIPTION:Generative AI and foundation models promise to change the worl
 d as personal computers\, the web and mobile computing did before them. To
  further the discussions from the Day 1 AMLD GenAI Conference\, during th
 is second day of worksops we’re bringing together another group of exper
 ts for a special session on themes in generative AI\, including theory\, s
 cience\, and policy. Join us for an exciting day of deepdive discussions a
 t this pivotal moment of the AI Generative wave which starts here with us 
 at EPFL.\n\nTRACK 1 - Technology of Foundation Models\nKeynote speakers a
 nnounced: Emily Webber\, Ani Kembhavi\, Aditi Raghunathan\, Armand Joulin
 \, Jonathan Frankle\nOrganized by Prof. Volkan Cevher (STI)\, Prof. Nicola
 s Flammarion (IC)\, Prof. Caglar Gulcehre (IC)\, Prof. Martin Jaggi (IC)\
 , Prof. Amir Zamir (IC)\, and Prof. Lenka Zdeborova (IC\, SB)\nThis 3-fold
  workshop with world-leading experts will focus on the technology of recen
 t foundation models such as large language models: How to build them - a s
 ystems and engineering perspective\; How to understand them - towards a th
 eory of foundation models\; and how to integrate models across different d
 ata modalities.\n\nLocation: CM3\nProgram: \n\n	08:30-09:00 : Welcome & r

  Closing \n\n\nTRACK 2 - AI Policy Track\nKeynote speakers announced:Rog
 er Dubach\, Adina Dorthe\, Ayisha Piotti\, Marcel Knecht\, Sabine Süs
 strunk\, Daniel Dobos\, Adam M. Gontarz\nOrganized by Prof. Tanja Käser
  (IC) and Dr. Jan Kerschgens (CIS)\nAI is a key technology of the 21 cen
 tury. The example of recent advances in the training of Large Language Mod
 els like ChatGPT based on foundation models that can be applied to many di
 fferent human activities are already transforming many aspects of our soci
 ety promising huge increases in productivity to our economies. During this
  AI policy workshop\, we will explore\, supported by input presentations f
 rom science\, economy\, and policy makers how the upcoming EU AI Act and i
 ts implementation through the subsequent industrial standards will have to
  mitigate risk while providing the liberty to positively exploit the benef
 its of AI for our societies."\n\nLocation: CM2\nProgram: \n\n\n	08:30-09:

 tion Models for Science\nKeynote speakers announced: Pranav Rajpurkar (H
 arvard)\, Andrew White (UoR)\, Shekoofeh Azizi (Google Brain)\nOrganized
  by Prof. Maria Brbic (IC)\, Prof. Pascal Frossard (STI)\, Prof. Philipp
 e Schwaller (SB)\, and Dr. Dorina Thanou (STI\, SB\, IC)\nFoundation model
 s – powerful AI models that have been trained on massive datasets and ca
 n be used to solve many different downstream tasks – have been revolutio
 nizing AI recently. In this workshop\, we will discuss recent advances\, o
 pportunities and risks of these models in scientific applications. The wor
 kshop will feature renowned speakers from the fields of biology\, medicine
 \, and chemistry\, bringing diverse perspectives and expertise to explore 
 the potential of foundation models for scientific breakthroughs in these f
 ields.\n\nLocation: CM2\nProgram: \n\n\n	13:30-14:00 : Welcome & registra
