SUMMARY:AI and the Future of Medicine: humans\, machines\, ethics
DESCRIPTION:An event organized by the Protestant Academy Frankfurt in cooperation with hessian.AI \n  \nLecture and discussion \nThe use of artificial intelligence is profoundly transforming everyday medical practice. From diagnostic imaging to robotic assistance and treatment documentation—AI can be applied in nearly every field. This raises important questions: How does the interaction between humans and machines change established diagnostic and treatment procedures? What skills do medical professionals need? And according to which ethical criteria must the use of AI be regulated for the benefit of patients? On this evening\, we will examine current research on human-machine interaction in the field of medicine\, hear the perspective of the developers of the first medical AI co-pilot approved in Germany\, and\, together with guests from the fields of ethics and clinical practice\, take a look at the present and future of AI in medicine. \n  \nFree admission\nRegistration requested\n  \nSpeakers:\nPD Dr. Markus Herrmann\, Philosopher and ethicist\, National Center for Cancer Diseases Heidelberg\n\nProf. Dr. Ekaterina Jussupow\, Professor of Business Informatics with a focus on human-AI interaction\, Technische Universität Darmstadt\n\n\nDr. Vera Rödel and Prof. Dr. Heinz Wiendl\, Founders and developers of the medical AI co-pilot „Prof. Valmed“ \nLead:\nDr. Helge Bezold\, Principal Investigator Evangelische Akademie Frankfurt \n\n\nRegister here (Link: KI und die Zukunft der Medizin – Evangelische Akademie Frankfurt)

SUMMARY:Analog Computing Days 2026
DESCRIPTION:Two days dedicated to the future of computation: The Analog Computing Days 2026 will feature a rich program of presentations\, discussions\, and a hands-on hackathon — bringing together researchers\, practitioners\, and investors from across disciplines. Admission is free and open to anyone interested in next-generation computing paradigms. \nAbout the Event\nAs digital computers increasingly reach their physical and energetic limits\, new paradigms are essential. Analog computers offer exceptional computational power at unmatched energy efficiency for specific problem classes. They are set to complement digital systems as co-processors in hybrid architectures — with transformative potential for AI\, high-performance computing\, and beyond. \nThe event aims to foster exchange and collaboration within this emerging field\, with contributions ranging from scientific talks and a panel discussion to a hackathon exploring hybrid computer systems. \nOrganized by\n\nProf. Dr. Lucas Böttcher\, hessian.AI & Frankfurt School of Finance and Management\nProf. Dr. Bernd Ulmann\, anabrid GmbH & FOM University of Applied Sciences\n\n  \nParticipation is free of charge\, but prior registration is required. \nMore info and registration: Analog Computing Days ’26
