Artificial Intelligence Spotlight - Collaborative Event at VHS Arnsberg/Sundern's Sustainable Development Unit and City Lab
On a September evening in 2025, the Kulturschmiede Arnsberg will play host to a thought-provoking event that delves into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The event, titled "The Human Program", is a collaborative effort by vhs Arnsberg/Sundern, the department for sustainable development of the city of Arnsberg, and the city lab freiRAUM.
The show, presented by Frank Astor and Christine Astor, promises to be an engaging blend of knowledge transfer and cabaret. Frank Astor, a renowned cabaret artist, author, and futurist, will guide the audience through a mix of expert insights, entertainment, and humorous thought-provoking ideas about AI.
The purpose of the event is to make the topic of AI more tangible and sensitive for societal discussion. The show addresses the potential of AI to increase efficiency and unfold human potentials, while also addressing concerns such as who will make decisions in the future, the objectivity of AI, and its impact on coexistence.
Dr. Tobias Schulte, the director of vhs Arnsberg/Sundern, emphasises the importance of such discussions, stating that the vhs Arnsberg/Sundern's program offer is influenced by the question of AI in many places. Sebastian Witte, the head of the department for sustainable development, also stresses the integral role of Artificial Intelligence in modern city administration.
The artist presenting the show alongside Frank Astor on September 19, 2025, remains unidentified. Registration for the event can be done through course number 100-001 on the vhs Arnsberg/Sundern's website (www.vhs-arnsberg-sundern.de).
Following the show, both Astors will moderate an open discussion about AI, allowing for further exploration and debate on this significant topic. The event promises to be a fascinating exploration of AI, its potential, and its implications for our future. So, mark your calendars for September 19, 2025, at 6:30 PM, and join the conversation at Kulturschmiede Arnsberg.
