Artificial intelligence is no longer on the horizon—it’s already shaping the decisions we make, the tools we use, and the systems we trust. The question is no longer whether AI will impact our lives, but how deeply it will be embedded in them, who gets to shape it, and whose values it will reflect.
But where exactly are we today in the AI landscape? Which aspects of AI hold real promise—and which are just noise?
Join us at 42 Wolfsburg on May 7 for an evening of sharp takes and honest conversations about where artificial intelligence really stands today. Together, we’ll explore the practical integration of AI into our daily lives and workplaces, evaluate the current realities versus the hype, and examine what kind of future we’re actually building with this technology.
We’re thrilled to welcome the following speakers:
🎤 Thomas Beller – "KI für alle: Dein smarter Begleiter im Alltag"
A look at how AI is quietly becoming part of our daily routines, and how to navigate it meaningfully.
🎤 Sebastian Gerske (Teqyard) – "AI for Coders: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly"
With 20+ years in software development, architecture, and IT management, Sebastian brings an honest, developer-centered perspective on what AI really means for tech teams today.
🎤 Lars Auerbach (AKKODIS) – "Where Are We Now? Hype vs. Reality"
A critical check-in on what’s actually being delivered in the AI space—and what still belongs to the realm of buzzwords.
