European Researchers’ Night: AI at Work in NTI Lecture Hall Karlsruhe

AI, Art, and Science live in conversation in Karlsruhe

The podium discussion “AI at Work: Science and Art in Transition” brings together two worlds that have long influenced each other: research and creativity, as part of European Researchers’ Night 2026. On Friday, September 25, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, KIT invites you to the NTI Lecture Hall at KIT Campus South. Admission is free.

Between Computing Power and Artistic Intuition

When artificial intelligence writes images, composes music, and evaluates datasets in seconds, the boundaries of what we perceive as possible shift. This is where the evening begins: with a debate about opportunities, limitations, and the question of how machines think along and shape today. The event is explicitly aimed at the curious, whether they have scientific, artistic, or no prior knowledge at all.

Strong Perspectives on a Future Question

Different perspectives come together on the podium. Benedikt Maier from Imperial College London contributes insights from physical research, Tina Lorenz from ZKM – Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, speaks from the practice of art and media, and Markus Klute from KIT moderates the evening. This constellation promises an event experience with depth, dialogue, and a lively audience atmosphere. ([kit.edu](https://www.kit.edu/kit/veranstaltungskalender.php/event/62824?utm_source=openai))

The Right Place for an Open Science Format

The NTI Lecture Hall at KIT Campus South is centrally located in Karlsruhe; the official address is Engesserstraße 5, 76131 Karlsruhe. For travel, KIT recommends the stop Durlacher Tor / KIT-Campus South. Campus South is close to the city, well connected, and established for public science formats. Regarding parking: Campus South does not have public parking; KIT refers to limited access and parking options. ([itc.kit.edu](https://www.itc.kit.edu/english/2318.php?utm_source=openai))

Why the Date is Worth It

European Researchers’ Night makes research directly tangible. In Karlsruhe, this results in an evening with a clear target audience: understandable, inspiring, and close to current debates on AI, art, and science communication. Those who want to know how creative processes and research are changing in the age of intelligent systems will find a concentrated and open discussion here.
