On 13 November 2024, we had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Gerhard Fischer to O-Werk for a research seminar. He is Emeritus Professor at the Department of Computer Science in Boulder and came all the way to give interested scientists the opportunity to engage in a dialogue on various topics related to the use of AI. The basic question was to what extent the design space of AI can cover the area between ‘AI and humans’ and ‘AI versus humans’, especially in the context of adaptive and adaptive systems. There were lively discussions about the usefulness of using AI in areas such as public transport or even sporting events. By encouraging an exchange of views, the seminar raised awareness and the need for constant evaluation of the different interests and requirements that come together in discussions on the use of AI. We would like to thank all participants and especially Prof. Gerhard Fischer for his time, expertise and the great opportunity for interdisciplinary exchange.
