New Utopias

Themed "New Utopias", we envisioned tomorrow's innovations, explored the constantly evolving dynamics between humans and our technologies, and examined the challenges of unchecked progress. We went beyond the role of today's tech in enhancing our personal and professional lives to see how emerging innovations are shaping our society in general. How is technological progress complementing our highest aspirations? Together, we envisioned, debated, and shaped our new utopias.

Beyond the Visible

What can we learn from the various life cycle stages of the web for developing its future? How will visions and hype of the Metaverse and Web3 come into play and again change the way we express our identities, create and reward value, and solve the most important problems facing our society? These are the questions we discussed with you at the Ada Lovelace Festival 2022.

Our Legacy

Can we make sure that tomorrow’s technology will reflect our ethical values? How will our decisions be remembered? What is our technological legacy? And are we building the future we want? These were some of the questions we explored with you at Morals & Machines 2023.

The Future of the Internet

What can we learn from the various life cycle stages of the web for developing its future? How will visions and hype of the Metaverse and Web3 come into play and again change the way we express our identities, create and reward value, and solve the most important problems facing our society? These are the questions we discussed with you at the Ada Lovelace Festival 2022.

Sustainable Imaginations

What might the future look like if we find a way to design sustainable, accountable technology? How can ethical principles be anchored in the development and exploitation of pioneering technologies? How can they be institutionalized within leading corporations?

Our Future: A Quantum World

The future of the computer is also a metaphor for changing the world. What effects does the new technology have on the economy and society? How will the quantum state change us? And how can we shape this change? These are the questions we discussed with you at the Ada Lovelace Festival 2021.

Hybrid Evolution

We live in times of highly significant interactions between human beings and machines. Thus the technological advances by man have had an impact on our development – on us individually, as organisations, and on us as a society.

Sustainability Tech

The Ada Lovelace Festival 2020 was a virtual event of a special kind. The motto 2020: Sustainability Tech – improving our social & environmental impact. Because technology is only almost as essential as the world it drives.

Owning the Future

Our world is getting faster, more digital, more transparent and more accessible. Tech shapes our economy as much as it guides our individual daily lives. To what extent do we still own the digital path we are on?

Building Bridges - Can AI save Humanity?

What does the future hold for humanity and our species? Technical revolutions of the last century, digitizing processes, the rise of artificial intelligence as well as genetic engineering seem to offer endless possibilities for human evolution.

Building Bridges - Can AI save Humanity?

What does the future hold for humanity and our species? Technical revolutions of the last century, digitizing processes, the rise of artificial intelligence as well as genetic engineering seem to offer endless possibilities for human evolution.As robots are becoming more autonomous, the notion of computer-controlled machines facing ethical decisions is moving out of the science fiction sphere and into the real world. Our society therefore needs to find solutions to improve our ways of making moral judgements, to challenge AI and to develop rules managing machine learning systems.
