AI Café 2024 – Debate series + AI competition

Why the AI Café? The AI Café is intended to be a meeting place where discussions and critical thinking are possible and where citizens will have the opportunity to enter into dialogue with experts. In addition, citizens should also be encouraged to contribute to the topic of AI themselves. In this sense, the AI Café defines a cycle from expert to citizen (debates) and from citizen to expert (AI competition).

From 30 September to 3 December 2024
Cercle Cité, Luxembourg

Remarks

• The entrance of the Auditoire Henri Beck (Cercle Cité) is located at 2, Rue Genistre, opposite the entrance of the Cité Bibliothèque. The Rue genistre is the small street on the left (opposite the façade) of the main entrance of the building. Go to the 5th floor! We start at 18.00. Admission is possible from 17.30. Please be there on time so we can start right on time.
• Please note that there will be 2 polls where you will have to answer the debate question yourself at the beginning (poll 1) and at the end (poll 2). For this reason, we have prepared some ballots which we ask you to fill in by ticking YES or NO.
• The evening will be shaped primarily by your participation. Please ask questions. This is what the event thrives on!
• At the end of the evening, we will ask you for feedback (feedback letters, micro-trottoirs). Please help out.
• Finally, as the debate series is kindly supported by FNR and the deadline for project submission is early October, please indicate if we should repeat this project in 2024.
