What can you expect?
The design symposium “Intelligence Beyond Human” explores forms of intelligence that extend beyond the human – from neural networks and swarm behaviour to plant cognition.
At its core, the symposium addresses social, ethical, and design-related questions surrounding artificial intelligence. How is AI changing the way we think, decide, and design?
Through keynotes, workshops, and exhibitions, the symposium opens up an interdisciplinary space between technology, nature, and design – asking how we might act and create intelligently in the future.
