About the event
The AI Hype, Hope and Humanity (AI HHH) Festival is a three‑day event exploring how AI is shaping society today and how we can build responsible AI futures. The programme moves from current societal challenges to concrete transitions and long‑term skills for change. Visitors can join hands‑on sessions, creative formats, demos, workshops, debates, and academic presentations.
The festival welcomes researchers, practitioners, policymakers, students, creatives, families, and anyone curious about AI. You do not need a technical background to participate. Everyone is invited to explore AI in an open, accessible, and interactive way.
Some parts of the event will be in English, while other parts will be in Dutch.
