Building, Trustworthy Generative AI Systems brochure (3)

The document outlines an International Online Workshop on Building Trustworthy Generative AI Systems, scheduled from June 10 to August 10, 2025, in collaboration with the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The workshop aims to provide undergraduate students with hands-on experience in developing generative AI systems that are consistent, reliable, explainable, safe, and trustworthy, using Neuro-Symbolic AI approaches. Participants will engage in lectures and lab sessions, culminating in a team project, with no prior AI experience required and various resources provided.

1. Workshop Design Criteria
This intensive and immersive hands-on workshop is designed for undergraduate students seeking to understand and
develop trustworthy generative Al systems. The workshop takes an experiential learning approach that makes
complex Al concepts accessible to students with varying levels of technical background. This workshop aims to bridge
the gap between theory and practice, introducing undergraduates to the ethical and technical dimensions of Al while
oﬀering concrete tools and methodologies to evaluate and build generative Al systems that are consistent, reliable,
explainable, safe, and trustworthy.
1.1 Workshop Description
This interactive hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the emerging eld of NeuroSym-bolic Al approaches
for building trustworthy generative Al systems. The workshop will start with a basic introduction to large language
models (LLMs) and their capabilities and limitations. Understanding the in-depth working of generative Al models will
lay the foundation for exploring various techniques to enhance their trustworthiness. This will be followed by creating
real-life scenarios to implement methods that enhance consistency, reliability, explainability, and safety in generative
Al systems. These exercises are targeted to empower practitioners to develop generative Al systems that align with
human values and can be deployed in critical applications such as healthcare, legal systems, and mental health.
1.2 Schedule Overview
The workshop runs for 9 weeks from June 10 through August 10, with sessions organized as follows:
• Two lecture sessions per week (Tuesdays, Thursdays)
• One lab session every two weeks (Fridays)

4. Overall Workshop Objectives

• Understand the challenges and limitations of current generative AI systems
• Master techniques for enhancing consistency in generative AI outputs
• Learn methods for improving reliability through knowledge integration and ensembling
• Implement user-level explainability techniques for generative AI
• Develop safety-oriented approaches for responsible AI deployment
• Apply the CREST framework to real-world applications
• Create NeuroSymbolic AI systems that combine the strengths of neural and symbolic approaches

5. Workshop Structure
5.1 Hands-on Labs
Every lab session will include multiple practical exercises aimed at reinforcing the topics covered in the preceding
lectures. The workshop will conclude with a team project where participants will design and implement a generative
AI application using the CREST framework. These hands-on labs oﬀer participants a technical understanding of
generative AI and enable them to experience real-world challenges and solutions.

5.2 Lab Setup

• The majority of lab exercises will be done using pre-con gured cloud-based notebooks
• Participants need to bring their own laptop (any modern laptop will suﬃce)
• Only a browser and internet connection are required for most exercises
• University computer labs will be available for students without personal laptops
• Teaching assistants will provide setup support before and during the workshop
• No advanced con guration or installation required

6. Additional Workshop Information

6.1 Pre-requisites
• Basic programming knowledge (preferably Python)
• Completion of an introductory computer science course
• No prior machine learning or AI experience required
• Interest in ethical and responsible technology development
• Willingness to engage in interdisciplinary thinking

6.2 Resources Provided
