AI can do Art – Panel Discussion

April 28th 2026, 6pm, Microsoft Berlin

What a start! Our first public appearance by &ai took place on April 28 at Microsoft in Berlin. Moderated by Andre Hansel (Microsoft), our board member Joachim discussed how AI is changing the definition of art, the new possibilities it brings, and the risks associated with it, alongside Ornella Fieres (media artist), Dorothea Winter (philosopher and AI ethicist), and Johanna Neuschäffer (gallerist).

Over 150 attendees participated vibrantly in the panel discussion and the subsequent networking session – a fantastic opportunity for &ai to gather broad feedback on our project and hypotheses, as well as to establish contacts for future collaborations.

The event also provided our board members, Laura, Martina, and Joachim, with their first opportunity to coordinate our strategy and plan next steps in person rather than virtually.

We have also published short event reports on LinkedIn:
