Über das Event.

Join the next edition of the WEdnesday SALON series (this time exceptionally on a Monday) at the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) – with Gerd Gigerenzer! From dating apps to self-driving cars, AI promises to make life easier and decisions better. But what can algorithms really do – and when should we trust our own judgment? Gerd Gigerenzer looks at the AI hype, human intelligence, and why simple rules can sometimes outperform complex systems.

It’s a SALON for the WE.
