14.09.2026 - 17.09.2026

BIFOLD Campus, Technische Universität Berlin, Franklinstr. 28-29, 10587 Berlin

BIFOLD Summer School on Artificial Intelligence and Society

The summer school invites researchers and practitioners to explore the parameters which have to be considered when AI systems are designed to act autonomously.

The 2026 Berlin Summer School on Artificial Intelligence and Society will focus on fundamental questions at the interface between autonomous systems, trustworthy machine learning, and robotics, as well as deployment in critical areas such as healthcare and scientific infrastructures. We will cover technical approaches, e.g. how to integrate robustness, verifiability, explainability, security and good data governance into system architectures from the start.

Beyond the technical aspects, we will examine these challenges from the perspective of digitalization research, incorporating ethical and societal perspectives, and encouraging participants to situate their work within a broader framework of organizational and political governance and values. Join us this summer in Berlin’s vibrant research and innovation ecosystem to network, collaborate and help shape the future of responsible AI!
