Lecture series 2026.

Artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is transforming almost every aspect of human life at a pace unprecedented in history — from medical diagnostics and information processing to fundamental ethical questions about autonomy, responsibility and the future of human decision-making.

Opportunities, limitations & responsibility.

Four evenings, four perspectives: What does AI mean for our society, our health and our everyday lives — and what infrastructure underpins it all? This joint lecture series organised by the Braunschweig Scientific Society (BWG) and the Lower Saxony Academy of Sciences in Göttingen (NAWG) brings leading scientists to phaeno — for insightful perspectives, open questions and genuine dialogue.
