What exactly are the "Eliza effect," AI slop, or AI agents? How and who trains AI? How much electricity does a bot request consume, and what's behind the... „"Code of Conduct for a democratic AI!"“Artificial intelligence raises many technical and content-related questions, both in the current day-to-day and long-term, for shaping our future.

The participants developed their own questions and ideas on this topic in the three parallel workshop groups. Analog Game Development, Analog black and white photography and Rap. They experimented, discussed, and produced projects with and without artificial intelligence. Many of the results can be seen here.

Civic Perspective

This year, elections for the Berlin House of Representatives are taking place. For this reason, the wannseeFORUM is inviting politicians to engage in discussions with the young participants and support them in forming their opinions.

In this seminar, we were visited on June 23, 2026 by Dr. Sophie Hintzen/CDU, co-opted member of the state executive committee of the Christian Democratic Workers' Association Berlin.

The conversation covered many issues that concern young people in their everyday lives, such as those arising from their work as trainees: the discussions ranged from current working time debates to the future of jobs with AI and regulatory possibilities through politics.
