Düsseldorf Hosts AI Week: Unveiling the Future of Artificial Intelligence

Düsseldorf is set to become the epicenter of artificial intelligence discussions with its AI Week, taking place from April 4 to April 11, 2025. The event, hosted by the City Libraries of Düsseldorf, aims to delve into the profound impact of AI on society, democracy, and individual lives.

Among the key highlights of the AI Week is the book presentation and discussion of 'Code & Prejudice', featuring editor Leo Fischer and Melih Özkardes from the European Commission. The discussion will explore AI's role in perpetuating biases and its implications for democracy. The event will also include interactive workshops like 'KI-Comic-Workshop' and debates such as 'KI and Sustainability', providing a comprehensive view of AI's influence.

The discussion led by Leo Fischer will address critical issues such as racist algorithms and antisemitic deep fakes, highlighting the ethical challenges AI poses. As AI systems increasingly influence decision-making, understanding and mitigating these biases become crucial for maintaining a democratic society.

The AI Week will not only focus on the challenges but also on the potential of AI in promoting equality and supporting democracy, as aligned with the European Union's legislation. Events like the 'KI-Musik-Workshop' and 'KI-Bilderwerkstatt' showcase how AI can drive creativity and innovation.
