KI & WIR * Convention ’21
The digital event on 26. and November 27, 2021
(HOW) CAN I LEARN AI?
The third edition of the KI & Wir * Convention will focus on the topic of KI literacy. The term refers to the need for basic AI competence in the broader population. “(How) can we learn AI?” Is the central question in view of a rapidly developing technology that arouses fear and uncertainty in many people rather than enthusiasm and acceptance.
Together we want to find answers to this question. As a conference, the first day of the convention offers space for lectures, workshops, webinars and discussions with AI experts from a wide variety of areas, from culture to politics to research and beyond. On day two, the focus is on “Do-it-yourself AI”: creative offers from the community, from DIY courses to artistic installations and interactive learning opportunities, invite you to try out, participate and learn.
