What is the AI World Café?

The AI World Café is an interactive discussion format designed to bring together experts, researchers, and innovators in the Helmholtz AI community and beyond. Through dynamic, small-group conversations, participants exchange ideas, tackle pressing challenges, and explore new directions in AI research.

At last year’s HAICON24, this format brought together around 120 participants across 12 discussion tables, leading to valuable insights and collaborations. Wonder how they looked like? Find the reports on the discussion tables here.

The AI World Café will return for HAICON25 on June 3, from 9:00 to 11:00 AM, providing another opportunity for impactful discussions.
