Blue neon lights, steam from the fog machine, drum & bass meets electric guitar and spotlights flood the rustic, large conference room. The Neos Conference 2023 in Berlin begins! The opening keynote addresses major topics such as AI, fake news and the associated changes in human-machine interaction. Robert Lemke, founder of the Neos Foundation, draws the following conclusion from the previous pandemic and the upcoming ‘AI revolution’ in particular: personal collaboration and a real community are the key to success. Sneak peaks of the upcoming presentations give hope for great innovations, more performance, more community, more Neos. More than 22 programme items are waiting to be absorbed by us. We are excited!
