Recap: Women in Tech Hamburg Beyond the Algorithm: AI, Risks & Human Values

Together, we uncovered how diversity drives ethical innovation in tech.

At the crossroads of innovation and responsibility

How can AI become not just powerful – but responsible?
That was the central question we explored at our recent Women in Tech event.

Our keynote speaker, Florentina Fuchs, Director of Learning Organisation at Forever Day One, shared powerful insights on how human values must guide AI innovation and why inclusive thinking is essential to developing ethical technology.

During our panel discussion, „AI, Risks & Human Values: Balancing Innovation and Ethics,“ industry leaders from diverse organisations shared real-world strategies for navigating the ethical complexities of AI. The session sparked bold ideas, honest conversations, and offered practical takeaways for anyone working with emerging technologies.

It was an afternoon full of reflection, dialogue, and connection, as we examined the ethical dimensions and challenges of AI adoption. Participants connected with forward-thinking professionals, challenged assumptions, and joined a growing movement committed to shaping a more responsible AI future.
