UZH.ai Students Kick-Off Event: AI is Rewriting the Rules. Are You In?
AI is no longer a niche topic for computer scientists. It is reshaping every faculty, every industry, and every career path at UZH. The question isn't if AI will change your studies and your future, it's how fast, and whether you'll be ready.
Join us for the official Kick-Off of the UZH.ai Students, the platform bringing students from all faculties together to explore, discuss, and leverage AI for what comes next.
The event will take place in a fireside chat format: an open, informal conversation with our speakers.
Moderated by:
Ruben Kranendonk, Chief Connector, UZH.ai
Featuring:
Andrianos Michail, PhD Candidate at the Department of Computational Linguistics, University of Zurich
Prof. Claudia Witt, Professor of Complementary and Integrative Digital Health at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Zurich
Dr. Aleksandra Urman, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Informatics, University of Zurich
Prof. Michael Krauthammer, Chair of Medical Informatics at the University Hospital of Zurich and the Department of Quantitative Biomedicine, University of Zurich
On the agenda:
Writing your Bachelor's or Master's thesis with AI. Practical insights on where AI genuinely helps, where it doesn't, and how to use it without compromising academic integrity.
AI in the Learning Process. How AI is transforming the way students study, research, and retain knowledge.
What's next for AI at UZH. A look at where the university and the field are heading, from computational linguistics to medical informatics to digital health.
Whether you're a first-year figuring out how to use AI responsibly in your studies, or a soon-to-be graduate wondering how AI will reshape your industry, this event is for you.
No Computer Science background required. No prior AI knowledge needed. Just curiosity.
This is more than a launch event. It's the start of a cross-faculty community that will define how UZH students engage with AI. Come early, stay for the discussion, and be part of the founding crowd.
