AI: A TOUGH LOVE

TEDxHUBerlin would like to reflect on the connection between the calculating machine and the emotional human being. Practice shows that the worlds between humans, nature and technology already collide massively. From workflow management tools to AI board members, to an AI-based sustainability revolution or a humanoid love-machine, there are no limits to the future. Every move we make influences future Innovations – maybe even making us part of a living simulation today?

We would like to invite speakers to take a snapshot of this development to reflect on the current state of affairs, to present AI as an innovation accelerator, to take a look at possible threats or to give a creative outlook on how our future can be shaped by Machine Learning, Big Data & Co. After all, not everyone is ready for humanoid spouses, in this case we would like to hear why humans are the next big thing!

Therefore, the team of TEDxHUBerlin happily welcomes submissions from the fields of psychology, humanities, technology, art, culture, science fiction and entertainment. As always, different formats are conceivable: theoretical reflections, commentaries, practical examples, utopias & dystopias, thought games, music or field reports.
