About us

We’re the Cologne chapter of CorrelAid, a network of volunteer data enthusiasts using their passion for social good.

We team up with non-profit organizations on project-based collaborations – helping them make sense of their data, measure their impact, and tackle real-world challenges.

Here in Cologne, we connect data enthusiasts, non-profits, and civic initiatives in the Bonn/Cologne/Düsseldorf area to work on local projects. From exploring open data to supporting community organizations, our goal is to make a measurable difference together.

Everyone is welcome to join our sessions – whether you’re a beginner or an expert – and learn, share, and contribute along the way. If you care about making the world better with data – or just want to see what’s possible – join us!

Data4Good Stammtisch: Responsible AI
Sat, May 16 · 4:00 PM CEST
Damla +PLUS, Frankfurter Straße 85-87, 51065, Cologne, DE
We are the Cologne chapter of CorrelAid, a network of volunteers using their expertise on data for social good.

In this Stammtisch we will discuss the responsible use of artificial intelligence in organizations, with hiring as example. We will anchor our discussion on the following recently published toolkits sponsored by the EU and the German government respectively:

https://findhr.eu/toolkits/
https://findhr.eu/reshape-your-cv/
https://demokratische-ki.de/en/

We will start by a quick overview of the toolkits, then go into open discussion on topics ranging from:
- What are your experiences in the use of AI in organizations?
- What are your experiences in the use of AI in hiring?
- What do you think about toolkits like the ones listed?
- Can these toolkits help? Why or why not?
to broader topics such as:
- What kinds of AI literacy are needed by data people?
- How to navigate the job market shaped by AI?
- How to succeed in AI‑based recruiting?
Look forward to seeing those of you who participated in our events before joining us again in this new "Stammtisch with a Focus" format!
