ON/OFF Relationship: vernissage
Launch of the new focus
© Grafik: Futurium
Intelligent machines, empathetic algorithms, brain implants and augmented realities: the boundaries between people and technology seem to be increasingly blurred. How will our understanding of what it means to be human change? Some see the rapid development of technology as the dawn of a golden age, others fear the risks. So where should we be cautious and where should we feel confident? Futurium explores all of this in the "On/Off Relationship" – its new thematic focus on the relationship between humans and technology.
During the opening weekend, in the exhibition and at the series of events starting in autumn, we will be discussing the future of the relationship between humans and machines with you and with contributors from science, politics and civil society.
Be the first to explore the new thematic focus on the future relationship between humans and machines and come to the vernissage! Discover new exhibits and discuss artificial intelligence and robotics with our experts. Exciting encounters, little surprises and plenty of scope for discussion await you.
