MAIA & CyberLÄND: How 3D Avatars Connect Community, Content & Business

MAIA is the 3D avatar of CyberLÄND, Baden-Württemberg's metaverse competence platform, and stands for bridging the gap between AI, the creative industries and the digital economy. As an interactive, AI-supported figure, she acts as a knowledge broker, storyteller and community host - on the web and in immersive spaces. The presentation will show in a practical way how MAIA combines generative AI with specific use cases: from automated content curation to the moderation of virtual events, including on the CyberLÄND website, in the community platform and as the leading figure of an Apple Vision Pro experience for MFG. Examples will be used to show how avatars enable reach, collaboration and new business models - and the experience can be tested live in the foyer.

This impulse is part of "Future Lab Germany: How Cities, AI & Creativity Open Up New Spaces"

At our participatory Stage K4, we combine impulses with networking. Come along at the start of the session and take a look at all four projects. After a short project presentation, you will have the opportunity to network intensively with the people behind the projects and find out more about their work.

For the first 30 minutes, we will present all projects on stage, then there will be 90 minutes for deep dives.

Future Lab Germany: How Cities, AI & Creativity Open Up New Spaces

What happens when AI innovation meets urban development? Our state cases show how differently – and how boldly – federal states are shaping the digital future. Mönchengladbach, Saxony and Baden-Württemberg present AI-supported projects that are rethinking the cultural and creative industries: From cross innovation ecosystems and cities as "sandboxes of the future" to real-life AI experiments in public spaces.

Take the opportunity to get to know the minds behind the projects, talk to sponsors and partners and, after a quick pitch round, start the deep dive. Which city will become the next innovation lab – and which festival proves that analog is more relevant than ever in the age of AI?

These are the four impulses:
