Tech Policy & Ethics Events in Berlin

Explore the future of brand marketing via immersive tech and discover how we build AI that truly serves people. Join the conversation!

​The Final Chapter Event 3/3

​This is the final event of our "Future of Work in the AI Era" workshop series co-hosted by Impact Hub Berlin and the Founder2Founder community.

​ We are bringing two vital threads together: the future of brand marketing through immersive technologies and the question that runs beneath all three events: How do we build AI that actually serves people?

​The Lineup

• ​Immersive Brands | Ivan Pavliuchenko (Co-Founder & Managing Director, ARYES) Ivan will show how AR, VR, and gamification are forcing brands to rethink consumer connection. Drawing from work with Meta, Snap, L’Oreal, Red Bull, and LEGO, he’ll break down what actually works, what it costs, and where teams get it wrong.

• ​The Wearable Workshop | Omi AI Ambassadors Moving beyond the screen, Omi AI joins us to lead a hands-on workshop focused on the next frontier of personal AI: Wearables. Their ambassadors will guide you through the integration of AI into physical devices, exploring how "always-on" hardware can enhance human capability.

• ​Responsible Innovation | Regina Overchyk (Founder, Collective Research EU) — closing panel on AI safety with experts from Accenture and others, including AI safety researchers and red-teaming experts. With 13+ years building innovation ecosystems and supporting 100+ startups, she brings a practical, grounded view on what “safe AI” means in real-world product development.

• ​💻 Note: Please bring your laptop for this workshop to participate in the hands-on integration.

• ​The Closing Party (ca. 19:30 - 21:00)
  We’re wrapping up the full series with a final chance to unwind and connect. After three weeks of building and big ideas, join us to toast to the series, catch a final word with our speakers, and trade ideas with your fellow innovators. It’s the perfect time to chill and enjoy some great conversation before we head home.

This event is part of the ‘Climate Action Ecosystem’ project, funded through the Nachhaltig Wirken programme by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and the European Union through the European Social Fund Plus (ESF Plus).

Does digital sovereignty mean independence or smarter dependence?

Join us for a lively panel and networking session at Techspace Kreuzberg! Our Trilligent Tech Talks bring together founders, investors, other industry players and the wider public to discuss trending tech topics, policy challenges, and practical solutions.

This time we will be exploring digital sovereignty and its relevance to Germany’s cloud landscape. Our expert panel will share practical examples from their respective industries, while also touching on wider geopolitical and regulatory developments (e.g. the EU’s Cloud and AI Development Act).

Our panel, hosted by Anna Schiller, Director Trilligent Germany, will feature:

• Ms. Ailyn Arnold is key account manager at STACKIT, Germany’s first sovereign cloud provider.
• Prof. Dr. Dagmar Schuller is a co-founder of audEERING, the innovation leader in the field of AI-based audio analysis. A professor of Business Informatics and Digital Entrepreneurship at Landshut University of Applied Sciences, Prof. Schuller will be speaking to regulatory developments relevant to cloud technology.
• Dr. Fabrizio Palmas is a leading expert in AI, eXtended Reality (XR), and immersive technologies. He currently serves as the Head of Business Development and Business Unit Lead at XIBIX Solutions GmbH, where he drives cutting-edge solutions at the intersection of AI, immersive technology, and cloud infrastructure.

After the panel, stay for a networking session on Techspace’s terrace accompanied by drinks and snacks. We look forward to engaging conversations, opinion sharing and provoking questions.

Unreal Data — Real Effects

Data has become the raw material of social environments and automated data collection is an intrinsic component of most technological systems and devices. Our interactions with technology generate data that in turn influences our world: our devices tell us how well we have slept, predict where our favourite restaurants will be and what products we will like. Data shape our news feeds, determine which borders we are allowed to cross, and the jobs we can successfully apply for.

This workshop offers a critical and performative approach to digital rating practices and looks specifically at how online reviews shape our perception of place: We explore the the history, impact, and political dimension of systems that rate geographical place – from the first travel guides of the 19th century to today’s data-driven platforms like Google Maps. We examine the materiality of this data, its specific textures and aesthetics. As part of the workshop, participants will install a browser extension that only displays 1-star reviews – a shift in perspective that reveals everyday life through the lens of the disappointment of others.

Reclaiming Data is a two-day symposium and exhibition on 12 and 13 June 2026 at Flutgraben e.V. Berlin. It brings together artists, researchers, journalists, and cultural institutions around the question of how digital archives, data sets, and generative systems shape what is remembered. Three Skill Sharing Sessions accompany the symposium, each held in a small group (max. 15 participants). Please choose one session per registration.

Memory Machines LLMs archival silence, and the politics of historical voice

This workshop introduces Will the Revolution Not Be AI Scripted?, an interactive art installation in development that stages an encounter with AI-mediated voices of resistance — drawn from labor movements, anti-colonial struggles, and subaltern histories. The project is built on archival material from European and South Asian collections, including sources whose gaps and silences are themselves the product of colonial archival practice.

AI systems are predominantly developed to optimize workflows, drive economic growth, and enable targeted marketing, military operations, and surveillance. This workshop asks what an emancipatory — perhaps even subversive — use of these same technologies might look like. Not AI as a self-optimization tool, but AI as a space for politicizing individual experience and embedding it within a heterogeneous memory of past and present social struggles.

Working with the actual technical stack of the project — large language models, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, and self-curated archival datasets — participants explore how institutional knowledge gaps, training data politics, and LLM hallucination become artistic material rather than engineering problems. A central practical question is how to work with large, heterogeneous, self-assembled collections: how to structure, embed, and query material that was never designed to be machine-readable, and how the shape of that data — its inconsistencies, its silences, its uneven coverage — becomes legible in the behavior of the system.

The workshop takes Saidiya Hartman's Critical Fabulation and Michel-Rolph Trouillot's Silencing the Past as methodological anchors: archival absence is treated not as a failure to be corrected but as a political statement about whose voices were excluded from the record. The central question is not how to make AI speak more accurately about the past, but how to design systems in which the limits of that speech remain visible — and what it means to build memory infrastructure on top of technologies produced through their own forms of invisible labor.
