Entitled "Robots and Society – Living with Technological Progress," the evening offered a varied program of keynote speeches, discussions, and interactive formats. Doris Teutsch and Lisa Gaffney opened the evening with the question of what role values and morals play in often heated public debates at the interface between science and society. Tristan Schnell, robotics engineer at the FZI Research Center for Information Technology, then gave the audience the opportunity to encounter a robot, and Prof. Dr. phil. Ziad Mahayni from Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences addressed the central question of what it means to be human in the age of AI and what defines human life under these conditions.

The event concluded with a lively panel discussion, before the evening came to a close with stimulating conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.
