the application of AI tools – in particular Large Language Models (LLM) – has and how possible solution paths could look like to overcome current challenges. The OSR will kick off with insightful keynote statements of distinguished experts and will continue
with interactive discussions focussing on sharing experiences, best practices and lessons learnt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
