We took a look into the future: under the motto “AI meets Service”, the annual event of the Styrian Service Cluster took place at Kunsthaus Graz on Wednesday, 29 November 2023. Mario Herger, Technology Trend Researcher from SiliconValley, gave the participants a spectacular insight into our near future with artificial intelligence in his keynote speech – this contributed to plenty of potential for discussion in the subsequent World Cafés led by Walter Ochensberger and Christoph Maier. The participants in the panel discussion also provided very valuable insights into their professional environment and discussed topics such as: In which areas will AI replace human workers in the future? How can AI be meaningfully integrated into everyday working life? In addition, the Know Center of Graz University of Technology wowed the audience with their AI robot TIAGo and their robo-dog Sharky. The latter was allowed to assist on stage during the crowning surprise performance by young cabaret artist Elli Bauer.
We would like to thank all contributors and partners for their active support and are very excited to see how AI will change our lives in the future!
