Join AI Monday Berlin to explore how AI is shaping the future of the home, supporting better living, ageing, and energy efficiency.

AI-enabled homes can support independent living, reduce energy consumption, and create new opportunities for Europe's housing and technology sectors. The key question is how these solutions can be designed in a trustworthy, interoperable, and human-centred way, and how they can scale into everyday life. This session brings together experts from research, housing, industry, and startups to discuss the future of intelligent living spaces.

The event takes place at the historic Palais, IFA's Creator Hub at Messe Berlin, providing a distinctive setting to discuss how technology can shape our home environments responsibly and support us in our daily lives.

Following the talks and audience Q&A, you are invited to continue the conversation over drinks and networking.

AI Monday Berlin is an initiative by ai.berlin, AI Nation and DFKI to share AI knowledge, showcase success stories from Berlin's AI ecosystem and encourage organisations to initiate their AI journeys.

Key Takeaways:
  • Independence, not surveillance: how trustworthy AI enables older adults to live independently at home, without losing control.
  • Save energy, live smart: intelligent living spaces as a lever for energy efficiency and new business models across Europe's housing and tech sectors.
  • From prototype to everyday life: what research, the housing industry, and startups need so smart home solutions truly scale, instead of staying stuck as pilot projects.
