About
Looking for deeper meaning in the world of technology?
We invite you to a meetup that is not just a conclusion to the <Philosophy of [Artificial] Intelligence> intensive, but an intellectual event for those who think on a grand scale.
With intesive participants, AI experts, and invited guests, we will explore how personal AIs — from voice assistants to news feeds — gradually merge with our consciousness. Are they really expanding the boundaries of thinking, or are they just offering convenient answers that narrow our worldview?
Expect a panel discussion with insights from practitioners, sharp debates, and quality networking with a community of like-minded people.
Please note: The event will not be recorded or live-streamed, so we look forward to seeing you in person.
Who is it for
- AI/ML engineers and data scientists
- Researchers in consciousness, cognitive science, philosophy, and digital identity

- Product leaders working with AI/ML
- Anyone curious about where human–machine intellectual collaboration is heading
