Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is responsible for electing the Speaker Team and making long-term strategic decisions related to funding, governance, and other key areas. It supports the scientific and practical work of the AI-HUB@LMU by providing advice and assistance, such as organizing the event program. The committee also facilitates communication within the faculties and informs the Speaker Team about new developments in each faculty, such as newly appointed speakers for the AI Symposium or new data science and AI activities for the website.
