Humans in the Age of AI

Humans & AI

Unconsciously Guided. Consciously Led.

The world is evolving–and we are evolving with it. For over 20 years, the PAWLIK Congress has been considered Germany’s premier one-day event for leadership and sales.

Now, with the launch of the h+ai congress, we are beginning a new chapter. Together with PINKTUM, one of the leading EdTech providers and part of the PAWLIK Group, we are taking the next decisive step toward the future.
We are at the dawn of a new era–one defined by the dynamic relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. Across organizations, throughout society, and in our personal lives, this interaction will shape how we work, live, and lead in the years to come.

AI supports us, inspires us, but also influences us.

Often quietly, unseen, woven into the fabric of everyday life.

The h+ai congress sheds light on the unseen mechanisms of AI’s influence—revealing how algorithms shape our decisions and the data they use. It raises a crucial question: who is actually controlling whom? Together with leading voices from politics, business, science, culture, and sports, we explore the human skills essential to ensuring that organizations remain not only efficient, but also valuable for people, markets, and society.
