If you could decide the future of AI, what would you do? Join us during this GenAI Monthly Meetup, where we explore the dominant narratives surrounding AI and (re)imagine its future together!
In this interactive session, we’ll playfully explore future scenarios in which AI takes centre stage. By utilising generative AI beyond its usual applications, we’ll examine the dominant narratives surrounding artificial intelligence and critically reflect on them.
Through surprising exercises and out-of-the-box thinking, you’ll discover how to break free from fixed ideas about AI. At the same time, you’ll learn how to use GenAI in new and creative ways you may not have considered before. We’ll ask ourselves: what kind of future do we expect? And what kind of future do we actually want?
This GenAI Meetup will be an afternoon full of imagination, creativity, and critical reflection.

About the GenAI Monthly Meetups
GenAI offers amazing opportunities, but also brings along some tough challenges. Instead of working on GenAI by yourself, join a group of curious, collaborative, and friendly fellow EUR GenAI enthusiasts—students, teachers, and staff—for knowledge sharing and hands-on practice.
Collaboration: Connect with like-minded individuals to share successes, tackle challenges and brainstorm solutions in a supportive environment.
Guest speakers: Occasionally we will invite guest speakers who will share the latest insights, practical applications, and future trends in Generative AI.
Flexible Participation: No obligations! Attend at your convenience and engage with us when your schedule allows.
