Route Future – WORK IN THE REGION: Interactive AI Experiences in the Ruhr Area

The exhibition route Route Future – WORK IN THE REGION makes the transformation of the world of work with Artificial Intelligence tangible. The starting point is the main exhibition at the RUB-Makerspace in Bochum: Here, visitors experience at interactive stations how AI is changing our work – responsibly, transparently, and close to people.

Introduction: Hands-on AI to Try Out

Stations explain AI transparently, showcase opportunities and risks, and invite discussions about responsibility, ethics, and utility within teams. The result: a lively event atmosphere that combines knowledge, reflection, and moments of realization.
