The Lab Soirée at iRights.Lab on 25 November 2025 was an intensive, open and inspiring evening. Bringing together expertise, artistic perspectives and personal exchange, the event welcomed participants from politics, culture, science, civil society and business to discuss the social implications of artificial intelligence (AI).
The focus was not only on the question of how AI is transforming culture, but also on the responsibility that comes with shaping it. Different perspectives came together, contradicted each other, complemented each other and led to new ways of thinking beyond established positions.
The open space for dialogue was particularly valuable: thinking ahead, networking and developing new ideas together created connections that will have an impact beyond the evening. The Lab Soirée showed how important such formats are for engaging with complex issues collectively – through dialogue, across disciplines and on equal footing.
We would like to thank everyone involved for their contributions, their openness and the energy that fuelled this evening.
