Participants and trainers of „Hands-on Explainable AI (XAI), 20 February 2026, online" – 46 persons (from the 118 in the Zoom meeting) are on the picture.
Yesterday‘s course „Hands-on Explainable AI (XAI): From Data Understanding to Model Interpretation“ was a blast.
A big applause to our lecturer Anahid Wachsenegger from AIT who did a great job in guiding 115 participants through the hands-on labs on the GPUs on VSC-5.
