On 10 March 2026, the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau will host the \u201cWildau Conference on Artificial Intelligence\u201d (WiKKI). The event forms part of the 15th Wildau Science Week. This year\u2019s conference once again offers broad exchange across the entire field of information technology. Key topics include digitalisation and sustainability, the shortage of skilled workers, the energy crisis, and the increasing number of cyberattacks on IT and OT infrastructures.<\/p>\n

How can humans and artificial intelligence (AI) work together productively? What role can AI play in addressing the shortage of skilled workers or in modern medicine? These and many other questions will be explored at the Wildau Conference on Artificial Intelligence 2026 (WiKKI).<\/p>\n

The conference is not only a platform for exchanging ideas on new approaches across the entire field of information technology. WiKKI also focuses on defining issues of our time and presents solutions for applying AI in professional and academic practice.<\/p>\n

Practice-oriented research for today\u2019s challenges<\/strong>
The conference focuses on the pressing challenges of our time that require solutions. It places particular emphasis on the \u201ctwin transformation\u201d of digitalisation and sustainability and showcases solutions for integrating AI into professional and academic environments.<\/p>\n

WiKKI will open with welcome speeches by Prof Ulrike Tippe, President of TH Wildau and Vice-President for Digitalisation and Academic Continuing Education at the German Rectors\u2019 Conference, and Prof J\u00f6rg Reiff-Stephan, Director of the conference and AI expert at the university.<\/p>\n

\u201cOptics and AI \u2013 can that really work?\u201d This question will be addressed by this year\u2019s keynote speaker, Ren\u00e9 Hoffmann of Hoffmann & brillen GmbH, who will explore the opportunities for integrating AI into the workflows of ophthalmic optics and optometry.<\/p>\n

Following this, specific projects will be presented in two poster sessions and five specialist sessions. The poster sessions will focus on the topics \u201cData for AI\u201d and \u201cAI in Life Sciences\u201d. Presenters will report, among other things, on the use of synthetically generated training data to expand graffiti detection on passenger trains, intelligent workpiece carriers for production simulations, and the real-time detection of Leishmania<\/em> parasites, which can cause the tropical disease leishmaniasis.<\/p>\n

In addition, AI will be presented as a core element of cross-border educational projects in the life sciences, illustrated by the cooperation between TH Wildau and the Ukrainian Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics (NURE).<\/p>\n

The lecture session on human\u2013AI collaboration will feature contributions on \u201cAI-supported control centre assistance for complex infrastructures\u201d and the \u201cdevelopment of digital solutions for cost-effective determination of the operational status of wastewater treatment plants\u201d.<\/p>\n

The topic of security and resilience is also becoming increasingly important. In the corresponding session, one of the contributions will address AI-supported hazardous materials assessment in battery and chemical logistics.<\/p>\n

Further insights into \u201cRegulation and Ethics\u201d will be provided in the presentations \u201cA maturity model for Responsible AI in public administration\u201d and \u201cAI-supported transparency and governance tools for regional energy systems using Brandenburg as an example\u201d.<\/p>\n

The remaining two sessions will address potential business models and applied AI methods. One contribution is the talk \u201cFacial composites with AI\u201d, based on the recently completed PhaceSpace project at TH Wildau. An introduction to WiKKI will already be available on 5 March, when the PhaceSpace project will be presented in the programme \u201cTH Themen\u201d on radioSKW.<\/p>\n

WiKKI 2026 is organised and supported by the iC3 Smart Production research group at TH Wildau, the AI network NET4AI, the Mittelstand-Digital Centre Spreeland, the Brandenburg Future Centre, the digital association SiBB, and the European Digital Innovation Hub \u201cpro_digital\u201d.<\/p>\n
