Hosted by Human Future Hub

A candid, bi-weekly online forum for people confronting AI adoption at work,without sales pitches, forced optimism or “just use AI” as the default answer. Beginning Wednesday 30 September 2026 at 18:30, this recurring series runs every two weeks until 20 December. Hosted by Kata and Dario for the Human Future Hub, it creates a private space where people can examine how artificial intelligence is actually being introduced inside organisations. The event is online and associated with Berlin; the access link is made visible to registered participants. An honest conversation about workplace AI Many organisations are pushing AI before they have clearly defined the problem they want to solve. Teams may find themselves building KPIs around tools they do not fully understand, while employees struggle to raise doubts in company channels or one-to-one meetings. This discussion group offers an alternative: a place to compare experiences, challenge assumptions and ask whether a proposed use of AI genuinely makes sense. Conversations will focus on questions such as: - What is working in organisational AI adoption,and what is not? - When does “just use AI” replace proper problem definition and decision-making? - How can employees and leaders question AI initiatives constructively? - What choices do people have when adoption is driven at any cost? - How do AI ethics, self-empowerment and community support fit into workplace change? Who should attend? The sessions are designed for employees, leaders and practitioners navigating AI adoption from inside an organisation. They will be especially relevant to anyone who feels uneasy about the gap between AI marketing and workplace reality, wants to hear how others are handling similar pressures, or needs room for a thoughtful conversation that may not fit comfortably into a Slack channel or a meeting with a manager. This is an open discussion format rather than a product showcase or hype-driven presentation. Its recurring, bi-weekly schedule gives participants an opportunity to return as workplace policies, tools and expectations evolve. A private, unrecorded space… Register for this event
