How creative is generative AI: 3 - 5 June 2025
Youth in high dimensions: 7 - 9 June 2025
AI Prize for Young Scientists: 10 June 2025
In the first part of this activity, we will discuss to what extent generative artificial intelligence systems that create text or images like ChatGPT or Dall-E are "creative’. To this end, we will bring together a diverse group of experts from the sciences and humanities.

The second part of this activity will see the sixth edition of “Youth in high dimensions”, where we give young researchers from academia and industry the opportunity to gather and present recent results on high-dimensional statistical problems, in areas ranging from machine learning and inference to neuroscience or statistical physics. Typical problems in high-dimensions include estimating noisy signals, analysing (deep) neural-networks, detecting communities in large networks, or modelling disordered spin systems.
This conference aims at reinforcing the links among the interdisciplinary community of scientists working on machine learning, and to connect them with philosophers, artists and sociologists to reflect about the impact and role of this technology, and to bring forward the latest development happening in the high-dimensional world.
