How do we shape our future in 2050?

Living and aging with AI

Welcome to the year 2050: your refrigerator knows your blood values, your care robot knows your favorite jokes – and AI plays a role in deciding how independently we age. Sounds convenient. But who sets these rules? Become a member of a citizens’ council and make decisions about aging in the future!

Open Lab Event

Further information:

  • Time:14:00
  • Duration:3 hours and 30 minutes
  • Meeting Point:Futurium Lab

In this interactive workshop, you will negotiate what aging could look like in a digitalized society: Which tasks should machines take on? Where is human judgment essential? And how can we prevent algorithms from carrying biases from the past into the future? Using improvisational methods, strategic debates, and speculative prototypes, you will design possible futures of aging at the intersection of care, autonomy, and control.

Together with Justine Walter (Speculative Futures Leipzig) and Lilith Boettcher (Futures Probes), you will also explore which decisions we can already make today to ensure that aging people can live dignified, fair, and fulfilling lives in the future.

*A parallel workshop on the same topic will take place in collaboration with Speculative Futures Taipei in Taiwan.
