# Episode

Today I am trying a new podcast format. This episode is a collection of short interviews taken live at the DSC DACH 2023 conference that has taken place in Vienna from the 20 to 21 of April.

The DSC DACH conference is a technology conference had a diverse set of talks and tracks, from industrial applications of AI to the next generation of deep learning methods. The motto of this years iteration was "Save the world through data". An ambitious goal, but I think some of the speakers had interesting ideas and I had a good time listening to their talks.

The goal of this new episode format my dear listener, is to give you a chance to get a glimpse of the type of talks and content that is presented at the event. So you know what you missed, can look into the things that interest you further or even join next years even.

I am curious what you think about this episode format, as I wan to repeat in the future to provide a type of live coverage of AI events, in addition to the normal guest interviews. Drop me an email or write me on LinkedIn if you have a strong opinion on the topic.

But thats enough for the intro and lets begin with the actual interviews.

I start with a short Interview with Aleksandar Djordjevic, on of the organizers of this conference who is going to tell us about its origin and what they want to achieve with the conference going forward.

Next I am speaking to William Amminger from Lumos Student Data Consulting who where presenting a project they are working on, and William was so kind to take the time, to answer a few questions about Lumos.

Next in line is Alexandra Ebert from Mostly.AI about open synthetic data and what role it plays in with respect to privacy and fairness.

Next is Stefan Papp about ways AI can help to battle climate change and the role Data Scientists and Tech Entrepreneurs play in finding ways to reduce a climate disaster.

Next I am talking to Danko Nikolic about a talk that he gave on the next generation of AI systems, that go beyond deep learning.

And last but not least, I am talking to Nicole Weinert about her work, in applying machine learning to empower education and therapeutic applications.
