SUMMARY:Maren Courage AI Talk at the Berlin Capital Club on 15 July 2025
DESCRIPTION:Maren Courage AI Talks – Visions and the need for action in the age of artificial intelligence\n \nArtificial intelligence is no longer a dream of the future – it is changing our economy\, our working world and our society at a rapid pace. While AI is already being driven forward as a growth engine and innovation driver in other parts of the world\, Germany is struggling with regulation\, uncertainty and hesitant implementation. The political discourse on ethical boundaries and data protection is essential\, but at the same time we are at risk of losing touch with the AI-driven future.   \n \n \nThis is exactly where the Maren Courage AI Talks come in: In this exclusive series of events\, leading experts\, scientists and industry representatives shed light on the far-reaching changes that AI brings with it – and discuss the course that needs to be set now. \n \nEach issue is dedicated to a key area in which artificial intelligence is already a disruptive force: \n \n \n\nAI & Science – How is AI changing research? From medical breakthroughs to new findings in climate science and physics – AI is enabling insights that were previously unthinkable. But what role does Europe play in this global competition?  \nAI & Education – How do we prepare our society for the AI future? Schools and universities need to change radically to prepare the next generation for a world in which AI plays a key role. But is there a lack of digital education strategies in Germany?  \nAI & Industry 4.0 – Automation and data-driven innovations could make Europe a leading economic region – but high regulatory hurdles are slowing companies down. How do we find the balance between protection and competitiveness? \nAI & society – job loss or new opportunities? AI is changing the labour market\, but also raises questions about social justice and the restructuring of our economic model. How can politicians and companies shape the transformation without leaving people behind?  \nAI & Regulation – between a brake on innovation and a protective mechanism: Europe relies on strict rules\, but risks falling behind the USA and China. How do we design regulation that offers security but does not stifle innovation? \n\n\nThe Maren Courage AI Talks offer a platform for the most pressing issues of our time: What role can and must Germany play in global AI development? How can we prevent a historic innovation potential from slipping away?  \n \n \nThese talks are not just a glimpse into the future\, but a wake-up call: the decisions we make today will determine whether Germany will be a shaper or just a spectator of the AI revolution. \n \nBe there – and discuss the future of artificial intelligence in Germany and Europe with leading minds from science\, business and politics. \n \n \nWe are looking forward to an inspiring breakfast event. \n \n \nParticipation fee: 32 euros per person including breakfast. \n \n

SUMMARY:Acting with entrepreneurial confidence and strengthening Europe's sovereignty: Recognising\, forecasting\, implementing.
DESCRIPTION:Many events are currently addressing AI solutions and the benefits of AI.Many events are currently addressing AI solutions and the benefits of AI. However\, the topic of AI safety remains far too little illuminated. \nDespite all the enthusiasm for the use of AI\, it also opens up new targets for cyber criminals\, exploit vulnerabilities in AI models and sabotage them to their own advantage. Comprehensive precautions against attacks and the protection of AI systems are therefore becoming increasingly important and are a prerequisite for the use of artificial intelligence and society’s trust in it – especially with the rapid development of this transformative technology.Digital sovereignty and cyber security are closely linked and play an important role in the digital world. Norms and standards in cyber security are crucial to ensure adequate security measures and strengthen digital sovereignty. On the one hand\, active state regulation is necessary\, but companies can also achieve greater protection through voluntary commitments.Learn how companies can become leaders in the regulatory landscape  while successfully preparing for the future. \n  \nDATE: 29.5.2024 6 – 9 p.m. \n\nORT:CUPRA City Garage in Berlin directly at the Tacheles\,\nAaron-Bernstein-Platz 1\, 10117 Berlin \nREGISTRATION:  \nAGENDA \n18:30: Welcome \n\nChristian Rücker\, Chairman of the Executive Board of ARDOR SE\n\n18:40: Moderation and introduction \n\nMaren Courage\, Director of the Foundation Metaverse Europe\n“Act now: Why entrepreneurs must respond to digital change”\n\n18:50 Uhr: Keynote \n\nAxel Voss\, Member of the European Parliament for the Middle Rhine region (CDU)\, EPP spokesperson on the Legal Affairs Committee (JURI)\, specialising in digital policy (video message)\n“Insights into the status quo and the future of Europe’s digital security”\n\n19:00: Lectures with discussion: \n\nPeter Deussen\, National Standards Officer Germany Microsoft (coordinates the German delegations in the European and international standardisation of AI)\n“The world of standardisation: legal frameworks and current EU developments”\nIn a world where regulatory issues dominate the debate\, sovereignty is a decisive factor for companies that rely on AI. But what is the reality of standardisation in AI? Learn all about standardisation in the EU context in this presentation. We look at the registration framework\, the role of ISO and the European Economic Community and the discussions about effectiveness and costs. Current topics such as the AI Act and the Data Act will also be covered\, as well as the importance of international standards for the internationalisation of practices and processes.\n\n\nDr Martin C. Wolff\, founder of KRITIS and Cyber Consulting Company and Head of the International Clausewitz Centre at the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College in Hamburg\n“Focus on digital change: Strategies for companies in a secure and confident digital future”\nIn this presentation\, the important role of digital change through artificial intelligence (AI) for companies and their preparation for a secure and sovereign digital future will be highlighted. Martin Wolff will discuss how companies can integrate regulatory issues into their business strategy. He will also explain how new technologies and laws can serve as the basis for business models and how companies can take a leading role in regulatory compliance. Finally\, the importance of time cycles for companies is explained and it is shown how they can achieve long-term competitive advantages.\n\n19:40: Closing and get-together:  \n\nNetworking with flying buffet and drinks

SUMMARY:Creating values on the way to the metaverse: Foundation Metaverse Europe Expert Symposium in Brussels
DESCRIPTION:The advantages and potentials of metaverse\, AI and immersive technologies for medium-sized companies and Enterprises are obvious. Nevertheless\, there are justified concerns\, for example regarding IT security\, transparency\, algorithmic discrimination and digital overload. Many companies also lack a clear understanding of the economic benefits of such applications. \n\nIn this context\, questions arise regarding ethical guidelines and landmarks on the way to the metaverse. \n\n\nHow can the metaverse and AI increase the efficiency and economic stability of companies in global competition?\n\n\n\nHow can it be ensured that these innovations on the path to the metaverse comply with the principles of business ethics?\n\n\n \n\nAnswering these questions is crucial to encourage management councils in corporate and medium-sized companies to integrate immersive technologies into their operations and to promote the acceptance of such future-oriented technologies among employees. \n\nThe aim of the event is to discuss these issues and develop concrete solutions. In a subsequent discourse phase\, hybrid exchange formats\, networking events\, blog posts and further editorial inputs will be established. Experts\, entrepreneurs\, users and political actors will be given the opportunity to exchange views on the participatory and ethical design of immersive media on the way to the metaverse\, and to provide or find orientation. Recommendations for action will be formulated together and practical examples will be made tangible. \n\nAgenda:  \n\n9:30 Admission / Café and small breakfast \n\n9:50 Welcome: Maren Courage\, Director Foundation Metaverse Europe\, Daniela Theisinger\, Managing Director\, Deutsche Telekom\, Global Business Solutions Belgium NV/SA \n\n10:00 Keynotes \n\n\n“Digital Sovereignty“ – Axel Voss\, MEP\, EPP spokesperson on the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI)\, focus on digital policy \n\n\n\n “EU strategy to lead on Web 4.0 and virtual worlds“ – Rehana Schwinninger-Ladak\, Head of Unit DG Connect\, European Commission\n\n\n\n “Virtual Environments\, Real Responsibilities: Safeguarding Fundamental Rights in XR“ – Emmie Hine\, University of Bologna \n\n\n \n\n10:40 Thematic Workshops \n\n\nParticipants divided into two groups.
