After last year’s success, we are bringing back mAI: a dedicated month-long series exploring the impact, ethics, and innovations defining the age of Artificial Intelligence.
From the code we write to the art we create, AI is shaping our society in paradigm-shifting ways. But with rapid expansion comes the need for nuance. We are bringing together experts, learners, and industry leaders not just to celebrate what is possible, but to ground the conversation in critical thought.
Whether you are coding neural nets or simply curious about the future of human-machine interaction, join us to look deeper.

mAI ist für AI 2026
KICK OFF
Join us at 42 Berlin for the official opening of mAI ist für AI 2026. This evening sets the tone for the month ahead. We are opening the programme with a conversation on what responsible and reliable AI actually requires, bringing together voices from startup leadership, AI infrastructure, machine learning research, and public-sector implementation.
The opening panel, “The Integrity Stack: Aligning Research, Policy, and Deployment for Reliable AI,” asks a timely question: if AI is already embedded in products, institutions, and decision-making systems, what needs to be in place for it to be trustworthy in practice?
