Between hype and real impact: where AI really helps

Artificial intelligence is everywhere—in everyday life, at work, in the headlines. But beyond the buzzwords and hype, there’s a crucial question: Where does AI really help people today?

We invite you to an IMPULSE evening at TRIANGEL on Kronenplatz on March 19 at 6 p.m. As part of the Knowledge Week: Humans × AI, we are bringing together three startups from our network to show how AI is already being used today – in a practical, understandable way and with clear added value for people.

With Lytris, Valoon and Prefiro, the focus is on very different fields of application. Lytris shows how AI can improve university teaching and make learning more individual and accessible. Valoon provides insights into how AI simplifies communication in the construction industry and makes work processes more efficient. Prefiro, in turn, demonstrates how automation reduces the workload for skilled workers and increases productivity.

After brief presentations by the founders, they will discuss with Prof. Alexander Mädche (WIN, KIT) where AI is already providing real benefits today, where its limits lie, and how the interaction between humans and AI can be shaped responsibly. The IMPULSE evening is aimed at anyone who is curious about how ideas turn into effective startups and how AI can be convincing when it serves people.

The event will be held in German.
