    AI and Biodiversity

    Prof. Sara Beery (MIT)

    Biodiversity is vital to sustainable development, public health, and ecosystem stability, and we are currently witnessing an unprecedented loss of biodiversity. To better understand and hopefully mitigate this loss, networks of ground-level sensors, satellites, drones, and community scientists are deployed to collect natural-world data at unprecedented scales. There is valuable scientific information stored in these raw data, the vast majority of which are as-yet inaccessible due to the time and resources needed to process the data by small groups of relevant human experts. AI is crucial to facilitate efficient extraction of scientific insights from quickly growing repositories of natural world imagery, and I will present several novel, application-driven innovations in AI which help realize the goal of global-scale, near-real-time biodiversity monitoring.

    17:30 - 18:00

    Next-Gen Narratives: How LLMs Are Rewriting Language & Communication Careers

    Samuel Läubli (Supertext), David Fröhlich (capito.ai), Henrik Dudek Povlsen (Stibo DX)

    Large Language Models (LLMs) are reshaping how humans produce, process, and evaluate information, with the language sector serving as an early testing ground. On the AI+X Summit main stage in Zurich, three European experts will explore how translation, journalism, and accessibility reveal both the opportunities and tensions of AI adoption—from shifting standards of “quality” and changing business models to the risks of automation creating barriers rather than access. The discussion will also touch on shrinking entry-level job opportunities, evolving AI regulations, Europe’s role in the global AI economy, and the concentration of data resources. Aimed at developers, leaders, policymakers, and innovators, this session promises frank debate and insights into how lessons from the language industry can inform AI integration across sectors.

    Bringing AI to business administration: a holistic approach with a potential to advance an entire economy

    Milan Kuzmanovic

    The potential of AI to improve efficiency in back-office processes such as accounting, auditing, document management...etc. is obvious. However, the approach on how to deliver on this promise and maximize the potential remains unclear. What about building one system, with a complete set of features to support all essential business processes, seamlessly integrated, with embedded AI workflows that augment human manual work? It is not lean, it is not easy, and it takes massive resources, but it is the way to truly revolutionize the space with positive impact on the entire economy by making every organization smarter and more efficient. This is what we do at nextesy, and I will share our story.

    10:45 - 11:00

    Learning to Move, Think, and Adapt: RL as the Engine for General Robotics

    Julian Nubert

    Prof. Elizabeth Cross (University of Sheffield), Prof. Nils Thürey (Technical University Munich), Prof. Basile Wicky (ETH Zurich), Dr. Michał Januszewski (Google Research)

    AI is driving transformative progress across the natural sciences and engineering. By enabling the discovery of underlying physical laws directly from data, accelerating simulations through surrogate modeling, and integrating data-driven with physics-based approaches, AI is reshaping how scientific knowledge is generated and applied. These advances are unlocking new opportunities, but they also raise critical questions about the design of appropriate AI architectures, the availability and quality of training data—particularly in domains where data collection is expensive or experimentally constrained—highlighting the need for robust, interpretable, and generalizable models.

    This session will explore recent advances at the intersection of AI and science, with applications spanning biology, fluid dynamics, engineering, neuroscience, and beyond. We will discuss methodological innovations, including physics-informed machine learning, generative models, and uncertainty quantification. A panel discussion will address the challenges and limitations of current AI techniques and conclude with perspectives on how AI can be harnessed to reduce engineering costs, accelerate innovation, and contribute to more sustainable design and decision-making.

    Efficient LLMs Finetuning (ELF)

    Fanghui Liu (University of Warwick), Melis Bal (MPI-IS/EPFL), Manish Krishan Lal (TUM), Liang Zhang (ETHZ), Jiawei Huang (ETHZ)

    The rise of large language models (LLMs), pretrained on vast and diverse datasets, has revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Finetuning has emerged as a critical next step for adapting these models to a wide range of downstream applications, serving as the “last mile” for various use cases. Compared to pretraining LLMs from scratch, finetuning open-source models offers a more accessible and practical alternative for small to medium-sized businesses and academic researchers, who might not have access to extensive computational resources. Despite its promise, the broad applicability of finetuning also introduces several challenges.

     

    This workshop focuses on efficiency in fine-tuning LLMs, aiming to lower costs and barriers so that even users with consumer-grade GPUs can harness reasonably large models (e.g., 7B parameters). Our goals are twofold: (i) to enable scalable development of LLMs, and (ii) to empower individuals and organizations with limited resources to benefit from modern AI. We will convene recent advances in methods and tools, and foster the exchange of best practices across research and industry.
