Beyond AI: Capabilities Today, AGI on the Horizon

Artificial intelligence has rapidly moved from experimental technology to a practical tool shaping how we build software, solve problems, and make decisions. This presentation offers a concise introduction to today’s AI landscape, followed by a practical exploration of how AI is already enhancing development capabilities and workflows. In the second part, we look ahead to the concept of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), discussing what the first steps toward AGI might look like and how they differ from current AI systems.

Thursday, May 7th – 16:00-20:00 – Accenture Lab (Room L25)

AI on the Edge

This presentation highlights how artificial intelligence can run directly on smart devices, enabling real-time data analysis and classification without relying on the cloud. Students will explore innovative applications such as an “electronic nose” for odor detection, an “electronic tongue” for taste classification, and acoustic systems capable of identifying animals in forests based on their sounds.
