For the fourth time, the KI-Forum at TH Köln in Deutz has taken place and again drawn a strong turnout. Among the participants were students, members of the THK-AI Research Cluster, external guests, alumni, and this time a notably large number of doctoral researchers — a sign of how firmly AI activities at TH Köln are consolidating and how strongly junior researchers are represented in the field.

The forum is the THK-AI Research Cluster’s low-threshold exchange format on Campus Deutz and has, since its launch in 2024, become a regular meeting point for the AI community at TH Köln. Its scope reflects the breadth of AI activities at the university, from real-time image processing and large language models to process automation, autonomous systems, IT forensics, and 3D modelling.
