Why AI? Why Hamburg? Why the Summit?
Kontext der ersten Ausgabe — von der Cognitive Economy bis zum Emerging AI Excellence Hub Hamburg.
Why AI?
Künstliche Intelligenz und autonome Systeme sind zum Gehirn der modernen Data Economy geworden — und formen Werte, Trust und Macht weltweit neu.

Ob Medizin, Geld oder Liebe: KI-Technologien spielen eine immer größere Rolle. Sie können Autos fahren, Gehirne behandeln und Produktivität steigern — aber auch bedrohen, manipulieren und entfremden.
Wir müssen Potenziale und Risiken verstehen — und AI-Systeme sowie eine Digital Economy gestalten, die wirklich human-centered ist.
Why Hamburg?
In Hamburg entsteht ein lebendiges AI-Ökosystem — hanseatisch, global orientiert, mit starkem Logistics-Fokus und wachsenden transatlantischen Partnerschaften.
Mehr lesen
Hamburg und Schleswig-Holstein werden zunehmend Bridgehead transatlantischer AI-Partnerschaften — Hoffnung und Impuls für Stadt und Land.
Beide Seiten des Atlantiks sehen KI zunehmend als Policy-Priorität für post-pandemische Unsicherheiten.
Our Mission
Im Einklang mit der Vision von AI.HAMBURG, Wissen und breite Anwendung von KI — besonders Machine Learning — für die Wirtschaft zu fördern.
Mehr lesen
Die deutsche Wirtschaft für AI wecken; Hamburgs AI Excellence Hub beschleunigen; schnellere Experimente und Scale-out anstoßen; den Diskurs zu AI-Trends vorantreiben; Networking zwischen Startups, Corporates, Academia, Research und Policy stimulieren.
Vier Tracks strukturierten den Tag: AI in Health, Logistics, Enterprises sowie Sustainability & Climate.
Our Mission
