About us
Welcome to Human Future Hub Meetup, a global community for anyone navigating AI-driven change. Share experiences, ask questions, and learn practical steps from your peers to better understand AI's limitations and huge potential. We host in-person meetups, expert sessions, and resource drops to help turn uncertainty into action. For now, we're based in Berlin, but we welcome members from around the world. 👋 Join our LinkedIn Group and Substack for articles, perspectives, and resources between events.
In this group you’ll find:
– Peer Support: honest conversations about challenges, fears, and opportunities of the AI era we live in.
– Learning: demystifying AI with accessible content, webinars, and expert talks.
– Responsible AI: sociological, psychological, and ethical perspectives, not just tech hype.
We value psychological safety, evidence-based insights, and practical steps. This community is for everyone, not only those in tech. Be human-first, generous, and constructive.

Also, if you want to be part of the organisation and build local chapters, you're more than welcome to contact us!

Book Debate: The Enshittification of Everything and What Comes Next
Motel One Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Invalidenstraße 54, Berlin, DEJoin our next Book Debate in September! 📖
This time, we will discuss the new book by Cory Doctorow, "The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI", and reflect on his previous book that coined the now-famous term enshittification.We'll present the key ideas from both books, so you don't need to have read them to join the conversation. Come with your experience, your frustrations, and your honest read of what's happening.
In automation theory, a centaur is a person who is assisted by a machine: a human head on a tireless robot body. A reverse centaur is the inverse: a person who has been conscripted to serve as a squishy meat appendage for an uncaring machine. The driver who cannot stop. The warehouse worker with no bathroom break. The programmer cranking out impossible volumes of code. Claims that AI will transform work are, Doctorow argues, actually a coded message to investors – signalling that mature companies should be viewed as "early stage" innovators, a far more enticing model.

The AI show, in other words, is not being performed for you.
This September, Human Future Hub gathers to ask the questions that the hype is designed to prevent: Who is this technology actually for? Who is it doing it to? And what do we do about it?
