SRF live from Hönggerberg: What can AI really do?
On Thursday, 21 November, Swiss television will be broadcasting live from the ETH H?nggerberg campus. During prime time, the programme "Einstein Special" will explore the question: "What can AI really do?" The construction work of the "studio" in the HPH foyer leads to restrictions.
Artificial intelligence will change our lives at least as profoundly as the internet and smartphones have done. Swiss television is tackling this highly topical subject and dedicating a programme focus to it from 17 to 24 November 2024. The focus will be on the question: "What can AI really do and what are people in Switzerland doing with it?" The "Einstein Special" programme is the highlight of this week and will be broadcast live from the HPH foyer on the H?nggerberg from 20:00 - 21:40.
If you want to be there live, you can get free tickets on the external page SRF website.
Restrictions during construction
The planned programme is a major production with around 200 studio guests. The construction of the temporary studio, which will begin on Monday, 18 November, is correspondingly complex and will lead to restrictions on the use of the building.
- From 18 to 19 November, the set-up will take place in the HPH foyer (D floor), which will lead to barriers and restrictions.
- From 20 to 21 November, access to the lecture halls in the HPH building will be via the HPV building. The food market will be accessible over lunchtime with diversions.
- The lockers on the C and D floors will only be accessible to a limited extent on Wednesday, 20 November and not at all on Thursday, 21 November.
- The study workstations in the Food Market and HPH G-Stock can only be used to a limited extent throughout the week.
- The HPH building will not be accessible during the programme on 21 November from 6 pm to 10 pm.
- The lifts in the HPH building will be partially out of service (especially during the event on Thursday).
