Business Value Meets Impact: Four AI Impulses & Joint Q&A

AI for a better world? In four compact 15-minute impulses, players from the cultural and creative industries will show how this can be achieved in concrete terms – scalable, implementation-orientated and with measurable added value. The focus is on inclusive design solutions, an AI chatbot to modernise support for those affected and gender equality in design. The contributions combine social benefit with business value and visualise who AI actually works for – and who is otherwise quickly overlooked.

This will be followed by a joint Q&A with all participants.

09:30–11:00h
