First festival on Artificial Intelligences in Essen

Artificial intelligence becomes a sensual experience

Artificial intelligences are everywhere - in smartphones, cars, the economy or healthcare. Nevertheless, many people are not even aware of where AI already determines our everyday lives or will do so at some point. Making artificial intelligence tangible is one goal of the first AI Biennale Essen. From 22 April to 8 June 2022, local, regional and international actors will come together at many locations in the city to discuss and advise on AI in culture, business and science and to make it tangible for everyone.
