Join us for an evening of cutting-edge AI innovation hosted by GDG Berlin at IAV. This Build with AI special event explores how multimodal intelligence—the fusion of video, language, and sensor data—is transforming industries, with a spotlight on the automotive sector and video understanding.

In Talk 1, Dr. Christoph Raab discover the automotive industry in Germany is undergoing transformative changes marked by electrification, software-defined vehicles, and AI. Among these, AI plays a pivotal role—not only in features like self-driving cars and intelligent infotainment but also in transforming how vehicles are engineered. AI can significantly optimize and accelerate the design process, particularly within the V-model, a key framework for developing and validating automotive systems. By leveraging AI, efficiency gains of quite over 50% can be achieved in requirements engineering, testing, and software development.This talk will explore how AI enhances the V-model, showcasing real-world use cases, IAV's cutting-edge solutions, and hands-on demonstrations. Expect practical insights, interactive demos, and a roadmap to integrating AI into the automotive industry.

In Talk 2, Hrishikesh Yadav, dives deep into the world of video understanding and explore how models like Marengo craft meaningful video embeddings, enabling applications such as video-to-text generation, scene analysis, and AI agents.
ive into the fast-evolving field of video understanding and discover how multimodal AI models—like vision transformers and Marengo—are shaping the future of intelligent systems. This session covers real-world use cases, how to generate meaningful video embeddings, and the journey from video to text using models like Pegasus. Includes a live demo and open-source resources to start building your own applications. No prior experience needed!

In talk 3, Nidaa Fatimah Mungloo will take us through the practical side of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) — breaking it down and showing how this powerful architecture is used in real-world applications today.
