In a world in which AI is becoming increasingly important, it often remains unclear how these systems actually work. The “I AM A.I.” exhibition answers key questions, such as how machines achieve human-like intelligence, and makes the underlying processes tangible at interactive stations. Visitors can explore various “experience trails” dedicated to important questions: “Can AI make mistakes?”, “Is it possible to do something without understanding it?” or “How do neural networks learn?”
“The ‘I AM A.I.’ exhibition offers an excellent opportunity to convey the complex interrelationships of artificial intelligence in an understandable and interactive way. It not only promotes understanding and interest in this key technology, but also encourages a critical examination of artificial intelligence,” emphasized Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael HĂĽbner, Vice President for Research and Transfer at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg.
Through a mixture of images, videos, experiments and software applications, the world of AI is made accessible in a playful way. This interactive traveling exhibition is aimed at curious people aged 12 and over and creates a variety of opportunities for conversations and discussions.
In addition to theoretical concepts, the exhibition also highlights practical aspects from everyday life. The aim is not only to promote an understanding of AI, but also to encourage a critical examination of the topic. The exhibits include examples of speech and character recognition as well as a simulation that explains learning through rewards. Another focus is the ethics of autonomous vehicles: will AI make road traffic safer? Visitors can interactively define guidelines that control the behavior of AI in unforeseen situations. The aim of the exhibition is to make the functionality and potential of AI systems tangible and to encourage a critical examination of this forward-looking topic.
The exhibition “I AM A.I.” can be visited on the 2nd floor of the IKMZ on the central campus of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg (Platz der deutschen Einheit 2, 03044 Cottbus) until March 30, 2025. Admission is free. It is possible to book guided tours of the exhibition via the BTU website.
The traveling exhibition “I AM A.I.” was curated by the international platform IMAGINARY and funded by the Carl Zeiss Foundation. It was created as part of the KI@MINT project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
