What if artificial intelligence were not just a technology, but a tool that reshapes the way we think? What if it sped up processes, fundamentally changing the way we design, make decisions and create things? What if it posed more of an invitation to curiosity than a threat?
These were the questions that kicked off a morning at Kino der Acht Berlin that promised more than just theory. Benjamin Mateev and Ole Tillmann hosted the premiere of their new AI masterclass, Supercharged — and the title said it all. Through inspiring keynotes, interactive sessions, and audience participation, the focus was on how AI can be integrated into everyday life, work, and creative processes in a targeted and considered way. The guiding principle was enhancement, not replacement.
Ben and Ole guided us through current developments at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship and creativity. They shared their knowledge and offered new perspectives. As well as equipping participants with tools, they opened up thinking spaces and encouraged experimentation, testing and scrutiny. During the masterclass, participants optimised, reflected on and tried things out in practice. The breaks were also designed to facilitate dialogue, generate new ideas and address open questions.
While those looking for definitive answers may not have found them today, they will certainly have gained insights, ideas and reassurance that AI does not spell the end of the familiar. In fact, AI is something that can be co-designed.
