The Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI) is
delighted to announce its 2022 Lecture Series, featuring an eclectic
lineup of internal and external speakers.

Wednesdays at 18:30 Central European (Summer) Time. All lectures will be
held online via Zoom; in-person attendance at OFAI is also possible for
