Organizer

An informal gathering at Humboldt-Universität’s library science hub to dissect the friction between rapid AI deployment and the evolving regulatory landscape in Berlin. While we are meeting in an academic stronghold, the vibe is decidedly post-lecture: less formal presentation, more peer-to-peer critique of the EU AI Act and the ethics of training sets. We will gather to discuss whether the current policy frameworks can actually keep pace with model capabilities, or if we are just drafting beautiful prose for the archives. It is a Thursday evening plan for those who prefer their tech talk with a side of critical theory and urban realism.

Event Plan

  • 7:00 PM
    The Lobby Assembly
    Arrivals and finding the group. We will spend the first few minutes establishing who is here for policy debate and who is just looking for a study carrel.
  • 7:20 PM
    Lightning Landscape Check-in
    A quick round of introductions focused on one specific ethical concern or policy loophole currently on your radar.
  • 7:50 PM
    The Core Discussion
    A deeper, unstructured dive into the tension between open-source AI development and the centralized control proposed by emerging safety standards.
  • 8:40 PM
    Final Arguments and Exit
    Closing remarks, exchange of contact info for future collaborations, and a graceful departure into the Mitte night.
