Beyond Technology: AI & Data for the Common Good

Beyond Technology: AI & Data for the Common Good

Thu, Sep 17, 3:30 PM
From Women in Big Data Berlin Meetup Group
4.8

What if the most valuable use of AI isn’t automation, but helping people make **better decisions in situations of uncertainty**? Join **Women in Big Data Berlin** and the **Bertelsmann Stiftung** for an evening exploring how AI and data can support evidence-based decision-making and create meaningful social impact. As AI moves from experimentation into everyday work, we want to look beyond what the technology can do and ask **how we can use it responsibly, who benefits, and what it takes to build trustworthy systems that serve the common good.** We’ll hear practical examples from experts working across AI, data, policy and social impact, including: * **AI-powered knowledge management** that makes information findable, contextualised and traceable * **Research agents for policy** that turn complex questions into evidence synthesis, research gaps and decision-ready options * **Responsible AI by design**, including human oversight, data protection, transparency and quality checks * **Impact beyond automation**, focusing on better decisions, learning and long-term organisational capacity **Agenda** **17:30–18:15 \| Registration & Snacks** **18:15–18:30 \| Welcome & Opening Remarks** [Carsten Große Starmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/carsten-gro%C3%9Fe-starmann-16547144/), Vice President, Bertelsmann Stiftung [Anita Fechner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anfech/), Women in Big Data Berlin **18:30–18:50 \| Keynote: AI for Good** [Dr. Katarzyna Stoltmann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarzyna-kasia-stoltmann-6b7656116/), Women in Big Data Berlin **18:50–19:20 \| AI & Data for the Common Good** [Dr. Helena Bakic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bakich/), Data Science Lab [Dr. Jens Preußner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jpreussner/), Digitalization and the Common Good **19:20–20:00 \| Panel Discussion** Moderated by [Aliya Boranbayeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aliyaboranbayeva/) **20:00–21:00 \| Networking Reception** Whether you work in **AI, data, policy, research, philanthropy, civil society or communications**, join us to explore how technology can move beyond automation and contribute to better decisions and greater social impact. **Registration is required for this event.** *Photos and videos will be taken during this event to capture the atmosphere and document our event.

Join one large rationalist social gathering, which brings together 250+ aspiring rationalists from across Europe and beyond for 4 days of socializing, fun, and intellectual exploration. **Full Info & Applications:** [https://www.lesswrong.com/events/iqkaNDmhqpoZWNpXs/lesswrong-community-weekend-2026](https://www.lesswrong.com/events/iqkaNDmhqpoZWNpXs/lesswrong-community-weekend-2026) The whole event **will be participant-driven** in an unconference style: shortly before, and any time during, the weekend, a digital event schedule is filled with 100+ workshops, talks and activities by the attendees. The community weekend is family & LGBTQIA+-friendly, and after last year's amazing experience, we are increasing our effort into creating a diverse event where people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and experiences feel like they are at home. We invite everyone who shares a **curiosity** for new perspectives to gain a truthful understanding of the world and its inhabitants, a **passion** for developing practices and systems that achieve our personal goals and, consequently, those of humanity at large, as well as a desire to nurture **empathetic relationships** that support and inspire us on our journey. **Price:** Regular ticket: €225\-275 \| Supporter ticket: €300/400/500\+ (The ticket includes accommodation from Friday to Monday, meals, and snacks.) Nobody makes any money from this event, and the organizer team is unpaid. This event has a special place in our heart, and we truly think there’s nothing else quite like it. It’s where so many of us made friends with whom we have more in common than each of us would’ve thought to be possible. It’s where new ideas have altered our opinions or even changed the course of life - in the best possible way. **Note:** You need to apply and be accepted via the application form. RSVPs are appreciated but don't count towards your participation.

Lunes de Charla (Español/Deutsch)

Lunes de Charla (Español/Deutsch)

Mon, Sep 14, 4:00 PM
From Lunes de Charla (Español y Deutsch)
4.9

**Deutsch** Willkommen beim \*Lunes de Charla\*! Wir lernen Spanisch, wir lernen Deutsch. Jeden Montag ab 18 Uhr treffen wir uns im Pig in Paradise, um genau das zu tun, wofür im Sprachkurs nie Zeit ist: einfach quatschen. Auf Deutsch, auf Spanisch, oft mitten im Satz wechselnd – über alltägliche Erfahrungen, das Leben in Berlin oder die Reise auf die iberische Halbinsel oder über den großen Teich. Alle Niveaus sind willkommen. Wer noch wenig sagen kann, hört erst mal zu – das ist vollkommen in Ordnung. Wir unterhalten uns einfach und verbringen einen entspannten Abend in gemütlicher Runde. Bei Meetup meldet sich nur ein Teil der Leute an, wir organisieren uns auch über andere Kanäle. Die Runde ist also größer, als es hier aussieht. Komm einfach vorbei. **Español** ¡Bienvenido al Lunes de Charla! Aprendemos español, aprendemos alemán Cada lunes a partir de las 18 h nos reunimos en el Pig in Paradise para hacer justo aquello para lo que nunca hay tiempo en un curso de idiomas: charlar sin más. En alemán, en español, cambiando muchas veces a mitad de frase: sobre el día a día, sobre la vida en Berlín, sobre el viaje a la península ibérica o al otro lado del charco. Todos los niveles son bienvenidos. Quien todavía dice poco, puede escuchar primero, y eso está perfectamente bien. Hablamos y ya está, y pasamos juntos una noche tranquila en buena compañía. En Meetup solo se apunta una parte de la gente, también nos organizamos por otros canales. Así que el grupo es más grande de lo que parece aquí. Anímate y vente. **Ort / Lugar** The Pig in Paradise Wichertstraße 10 10439 Berlin [https://maps.app.goo.gl/agjSTAPud8tp5yWu6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/agjSTAPud8tp5yWu6) \*\*Jeden Montag ab 18:00 \*\* \*\*Todos los lunes de 18:00 \*\* **Getränke** Die Location unterstützt uns, indem sie einige Getränke zu vergünstigten Preisen anbietet. Die entsprechende Getränkekarte zeigen wir während des Events an der Bar. Bis 19:00 Uhr gibt es außerdem Happy Hour auf viele weitere Getränke. Bitte unterstützt die Location, indem ihr mindestens ein Getränk bestellt.
