Discussion Experiment
Invitation posted by Igor
I don’t know how you feel about the rapid development of AI, but I find it deeply disorienting.
It seems obvious that this technology is on the brink of radically changing our everyday lives. At the same time, some voices argue that there is far too much hype and panic surrounding it.
And even if we come to the conclusion that nothing fundamental will change for now, will AI development ever slow down again — or are we, from now on, bound to live with the alarming feeling that huge changes are just around the corner?
In our next discussion, I’d like us to approach this question from a different angle and find some direction by asking: What will probably not change for now? Are there things we can count on – things that might offer us solid ground in the future, no matter how AI develops?
As always, we’ll use experimental methods to structure our discussion (you can read more about that below and in the FAQs).
There will be two discussions, which will be independent of each other. You can join either one or both.

This event is part of the event series “The Discussion Experiment”. It serves to test and develop new, more fruitful and fun methods for group discussions.

The discussion experiment is a method designed to discuss complex and controversial topics in groups in a way that creates more clarity, reduces misunderstandings and makes conversations more interesting, inspiring and fruitful.
This is achieved with a new moderation technique that slows down and relaxes the discussion and supports all speakers in formulating their statements in a more clear and focused manner.
The aim of each discussion is to further improve the method based on the experiences we make – at the same time, of course, we want to have an interesting evening and an engaging discussion.
It is difficult to predict exactly how the event will play out or feel. Each event is a test and can be enjoyable or disappointing for some participants. In any case, it’s always worth sticking around for a while after the moderated part – our participants are lovely, and it’s a great additional opportunity to exchange ideas.
No, this format is not about competing against each other or about convincing people through rhetorical skill. Rather, it’s about finding common ground despite different opinions and exploring various aspects of a topic together.
It’s perfectly fine to just listen. You can decide for yourself at any time how active you want to be and will not be asked to speak. The only exception is at the beginning of the conversation, where we do a quick round where all participants say their names.
Each event lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. Feel free to stay a bit longer to finish the snacks, chat with other participants, and deepen the conversation.
The venue is on the ground floor and accessible with wheelchairs. However, there are unfortunately no wheelchair-accessible bathrooms!
