Designing Responsible AI: Trust, Autonomy & Hidden Risk
*Please note, this event is free but please sign up here so we can inform the venue of your attendance: [https://uxdx.com/community/community-berlin-2026-04-22/](https://uxdx.com/community/community-berlin-2026-04-22/)*
**What's On**
**đ 6:00pm:** Registration and Networking
**đ€ 6:30 pm:** Keynote: *"More Than a Matter of Principle: How design gets us beyond theoretical AI Ethics"* with **[Noah Fraenkel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-fraenkel-4b17ba262/)**, GovTech Consultant at Possible
Drawing on his work at the intersection of government, technology, and public trust, Noah will challenge how we think about AI's role in systems that affect real people's lives.
**đŹ 7:00 pm:** Panel Discussion: The keynote ignites the conversation, the panel takes it forward.
Moderated by **[Wiebke Steffen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wiebke-steffen/)**, Senior UX Researcher at GetYourGuide, our panelists bring perspectives from across the product spectrum:
**Noah Fraenkel** \- GovTech Consultant @ Possible
**[Ziyong Lin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ziyong-lin-55714b25/)** \- Lead UX Researcher @ GetYourGuide
**[Jake Mongaya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakemongaya/)** \- Engineering Manager @ SumUp
**[Maxim Romanovsky](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxim-romanovsky/)** \- VP \- Head of AI & Product Engineering @ Deutsche Bank
Expect honest takes, productive tension, and the kind of dialogue that actually moves the needle.
**đ€7:45 pm:** Networking
\* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \*
**Everyone is racing to build with AI. But who is building it responsibly?**
There's a gold rush happening in tech right now and almost everyone is caught up in the excitement. AI features are being shipped at a rapid speed, products are being "enhanced" with machine intelligence overnight, and the pressure to move fast has never been higher.
But in the rush to innovate, some critical questions are getting buried: *Who's accountable when AI gets it wrong? How much should we hand over to automation and what do we silently lose when we do? And what are the risks we're not even seeing yet?*
These aren't hypothetical concerns. They're live, urgent, and sitting inside the products we're building right now.
**It's time to have the conversation that some teams are avoiding.**
UXDX Berlin is back! Join us at the GetYourGuide office in Prenzlauer Berg, where we will tackle the theme that every designer, researcher, and engineer needs to reckon with:
**"Designing Responsible AI: Trust, Autonomy & Hidden Risk"**
**Why This Event Matters**
The tools are powerful. The timelines are short. The consequences for users, for society, for trust in technology are long. If you're building products with AI, this isn't an optional conversation. It's the one you need to be in the room for.
**Come ready to think. Come ready to question. Come ready to build better.**
Thank you [GetYourGuide](https://www.getyourguide.com/) for supporting the event!
Mystery Salon at Baumhaus: Earth, Elements & Sacred Nature
This special earth day edition of the mystery salon will dive into our understanding of and relationship to nature. Through a mixture of storytelling, discussion, and integration exercises we will be diving into the myths and legends that first governed indigenous beliefs around earth, elements and sacred nature- and how these have evolved over time into our modern experience. Covering topics that touch on the elements- and the power of nature, herbs, and sacred medicine- the focus of this salon is to examine our connection to nature, and how we may live back in balance again with nature.
As a special bonus we will have a small sampling of refreshments available to experience a sensual and grounding journey of all the wonderful gifts the earth has to offer- as well as a tea bar at the end for you to make your own personal tea blend to bring home. We hope you leave this evening with a renewed connection & appreciation for the natural world around you.
Door open at 7:00 pm, event starts at 7:30 pm.
We will have light refreshments and drinks available for a small donation.
This event is donation/contribution based to make it accessible for all. Recommended donation is 10-15 euros
Please note meetup registration is capped at 10 participants- but we have room for more! To secure your spot please [pre-register here.](https://rausgegangen.de/en/events/mystery-salon-at-baumhaus-earth-elements-sacred-nature-0/)
We recommend bringing a notebook or journal. We welcome perspectives and input of all kinds- whether you are a novice or expert- all levels are welcome- perhaps we can learn something from you?
This salon is part of a special event series taking place at various location throughout Berlin. Every Wednesday in April we gather for intellectual discussion around a range of topics at the intersection of spirituality, science, and self-improvement.
We can't wait to welcome you there!
For questions please reach out to the organizer cheryl@risingtide.store

**đł Ăber das Meetup**
Dieses Meetup ist eine gemeinsame Besprechung des Buches. Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darĂŒber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es fĂŒr Dein Leben hat.
Wir sind unterschiedlich weit im Buch - doch mindestens bis Seite 106 hat jeder gelesen.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben. Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du fĂŒr das erste Treffen ĂŒberspringen, lies jedoch mindestens 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein GefĂŒhl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen).**
.
**Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.**
.
+++++++++++++++++
**đ» Mehr zum Inhalt**
Manchmal funktionieren Freundschaften nicht, weil man
* sich nicht öffnen kann,
* zu schĂŒchtern ist,
* andere Menschen nicht an sich heran lÀsst
* klammert
* zu viel will
* wegrennt
* nicht die richtigen Menschen trifft
* schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat
* oder oder oder ...
.
... alte Themen aus der Kindheit holen einen ein.
.
Ebenso stehen GlaubenssÀtze wie "ich bin nicht gut genug", "ich bin nicht liebenswert", "Ich bin unfÀhig", "Ich muss mich beweisen", .... und dergleichen guten Freundschaften im Weg.
.
Nicht nur Freundschaften, sondern das ganze Leben, Partnerschaften und Erfolg im Beruf scheinen von diesem alten Mist durchsetzt. Bei dem einen mehr, bei der anderen weniger.
.
Zurzeit lese ich das Buch: **"Befreiung von Scham und Schuld"** von Laurance Heller und Angelika Doerne.
.
In diesem Buch geht es genau darum: Wie prÀgen schlechte Kindheitserlebnisse und die Beziehung zu unseren Eltern unsere heutigen Beziehungen - nicht nur Freundschaften, auch Partnerschaften und Beziehungen im Beruf.
.
Zur allgemeinen Erleichterung: Nicht nur schlechte GefĂŒhle prĂ€gen uns, sondern auch die vielen guten GefĂŒhle đŠđđ»đ€.
.
Dass Du diese Zeilen lesen kannst, heiĂt, dass sehr viel Gutes in Deinem Leben passiert ist. Juchu!
.
Ich finde dieses Buch sehr gut. Es geht den PrÀgungen der Kindheit zielgerichtet auf den Grund. Gleichzeitig ist es leicht und locker geschrieben.
.
**Der Stoff ist intensiv. Deshalb gibt es diesen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten.** Vielleicht ist das Buch auf fĂŒr Dich interessant? **Dann komm gern dazu!**
.
Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darĂŒber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es fĂŒr Dein Leben hat.
.
Dabei können wir so offen sein, wie wir möchten. Nichts muss, nur kann.
Wir sprechen auch darĂŒber, wie Du einige dieser PrĂ€gungen auflösen kannst.
.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben!** Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du fĂŒr das erste Treffen ĂŒberspringen, lies jedoch mindestens mal 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein GefĂŒhl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen). **Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.**
.
**+++++ đ Teilnehmer-Stimmen**
.
"Der Austausch hat mir geholfen, meine Gedanken zum Buch in richtig gute Bahnen zu bringen. Das hatte Tiefe. Ăber sowas miteinander zu sprechen, hilft mir richtig viel, um mich und andere zu verstehen."
.
"Jede meiner Empfindungen, Körperreaktionen, GefĂŒhle und Gedanken ist ja nur davon geprĂ€gt, wie ich aufgewachsen bin. Das habe ich mit dem Buch verstanden. Danke, dass Du den Raum bietest, dass wir uns darĂŒber unterhalten können."
.
"Ein Buch mit einer solchen Tragweite lese lieber mit anderen zusammen. AuĂerdem bleibe ich dann wirklich dran."
**+++++đ· Hintergrund**
**đ±đœââïž Zu mir: Ich bin Georg Preller.**

Mir ist es wichtig, dass Menschen gute & glĂŒckliche Freundschaften fĂŒhren und damit ein friedliches & glĂŒckliches Leben fĂŒhren.
.
Auf meiner Websiete findest Du viele Tipps, wie man gute Freundschaften anbahnt.
.
Zurzeit erforsche ich tiefe Themen der Psychologie. Ich will wissen, wie alte PrĂ€gungen uns im Wege stehen, die richtigen Freundschaften zu knĂŒpfen. **Dieses Buch ist Teil dieser Forschung; ich glaube, dass es Dir sehr nĂŒtzlich sein kann.**

**Project Ideas:**
**1\. AI/ML â Office Posture Classification**
***Project by Mariami Marsagishvili***
An intelligent desktop application using a computer vision pipeline (TensorFlow/MoveNet) to monitor 17 body keypoints in real time. It calculates joint angles to detect slouching and provides automated stretch recommendations.
**2\. RestockVi â Smartphone\-Based Inventory Intelligence**
***Project by Vikhyati Singh***
A novel retail solution utilizing "Rectangular Lattice Gap Detection" (RLGD). This identifies out-of-stock items via smartphone scan without requiring pre-trained product datasets, making high-end inventory AI accessible to independent stores.
**3\. Fraud Eye â Intelligent Verification for Insurance**
***Project by Juliya Sebastian***
An advanced verification layer that detects AI-generated or manipulated images in insurance claims. It analyzes pixel-level consistency and physical plausibility (lighting/reflections) to combat sophisticated digital fraud.
**4\. MigraineChat â Voice\-First LLM Health Logging**
***Project by Isabella Boux and Maxim Smirnov***
A voice-to-data system that uses an LLM-powered extraction pipeline to transform unstructured speech into structured longitudinal health records, enabling predictive modeling for personal triggers.
**19:30** \- Open for networking
**20:30** \- Wrap up
We have limited seat so please RSVP soon. See you all at the event.
Berlin Sprachcafé. Learn and practise German easily (A1-A2)
The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please try to be on time so we can all get started together :)
We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German.
The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other.
The Sprachcafé is for free.
\*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\*

Self Tuning: Knowing through mental imagery
Bodhispace would like to invite you to a very special workshop: 'SELF -TUNING: Embodied Knowing' on Sunday, April 26, from 2-4 PM.đâïž
What to expect
We invite you for a Self-Tuning workshop, a practice designed to help participants access and hear the intelligence of their body sensations and mental imagery as the source of insight.
Participants will explore how inner imagery - your imagination and bodily sensations can serve as source of insight and clarity. Through gentle, guided processes and exercises, a direction emerges from within, offering a quiet yet precise sense of orientation.
Rather than focusing on performance, this workshop opens a space for a contact with what Winnicott described as the "true self," where clarity emerges through attention, awareness, and felt experience.
Key takeaways
\- Inner gazing \- Shift your attention from distractions into a deeper sense of awareness
\- Hear\, see and work with the intelligence within \- inner imagery and feelings in the body \- that carry precise forms of knowing
\- Cultivate your inner orientation \- Cultivation of your internal orientation as a foundation for clarity and coherence\.
A Guided Practice
It is not about analyzing or fixing but rather accessing and learning how to look inward. Rooted in the work of Desoille's Waking Dream Therapy, this practice uses imagery and sensation to access self-exploration and therefore more clarity.
Who is it for
By engaging with inner images and felt experience, a coherence begins to emerge, cultivating a more clear and grounded sense of self. Anyone willing to engage in an introspective practice in search for clarity.There is no expectation to perform or share beyond one's comfort. The structure supports inward exploration in a safe, contained way.
About the facilitatorđđŒââïž
Ana Mrovlje, mag. of psychotherapy science, is a practicing psychoanalyst in Slovenia with over 10 years of private practice experience. While the workshop draws on psychoanalytic thinking, it offers a distinct approach focused on cultivating selfâexploration and embodied knowing.
This workshop plants a seed of connection with the self that continues to unfold beyond the session itself.
Tickets below: early bird 17 EUR (limited amount), normal 27 EUR â Note: Promocode available for students, elders, etc.
Sunday Knitting Neukölln
This location is one of our favourite spots for knitting. The cake selection is great, the food is delicious & it is bright enough for our needs.
The only downside is the sometimes limited numbers of seats.
(So to give those on the waiting list a chance to participate, please decline again, if you can't make it, even when it's short-term)
đž Neurodivergent Spring Cleaning Swapđž
**Out with the old, in with the "new-you"âthrough reuse instead of consumption.** As the seasons change, so do our interests and needs. Join us for an assembly in the form of a community swap meet, organized by and for neurodivergent folks to promote sustainability and community care.
**The idea is simple:** maybe you want to clear out your closets, or maybe you just want to meet us at the park to see if anything interests you. Both are perfectly okay! Whether you come with a bag full of treasures or arrive empty-handed just to hang out and browse, you are welcome here.
**Info & Accessibility:**
* **Date/Time:** Saturday, 25th of April, 14:00 - 17:00 (**IF IT RAINS; WE WILL RESCHEDULE**)
* **LOCATION:** The meetup map is not acurate, go to this google map link and find th neurodivergent sign: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/u9rygDgU8ADDR6Ec6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/u9rygDgU8ADDR6Ec6)
* **Access:** accessible for people with reduced mobility.
**Bring items you no longer need (If You Want To), such as:**
* đ Books, comics, and zines
* đ§© Puzzles, board games, and fidget toy
* đ Clean clothing, hats, and accessories
* đïž Art supplies and stationary
* đ Housewares or decor
* đ§Š Cozy items (blankets, soft socks)
**How It Works (It's Simple):**
* **Bring a Blanket or small towel:** lay out your items in front of you.
* **Food & drinks to share** (optional)
* **Open Trust System:** Once your items are on your blanket, they are considered "up for grabs."
* **Browse Freely:** Get up, walk around, and explore what others have brought. If you see something you like on someone else's blanket, feel free to take itâeven if they aren't there.
* **Enjoy:** Find your next favorite thing, or simply enjoy the sunshine and the company.
* **What's left?** Anything unclaimed at the end must be taken back home.
**The Vibe:**
This is a low-pressure event for neurodivergent people. There's no need to hover over your items or worry about making conversation. You are welcome to wander, stim, sit quietly with a book you just found, or take a break on your blanket whenever you need.
**Community Disclaimer**
This event is a community-led initiative organized by neurodivergent volunteers who dedicate their time, energy, and resources to create a welcoming space. We strive to make our events as accessible as possibleâboth financially and in terms of neurodivergent needsâbut we also have our own limitations. We kindly ask for your understanding and empathy, as we rely on the support and cooperation of all participants to foster a healthy, inclusive environment.
**Come swap, find your next special interest, refresh your space, and contribute to a more sustainable community**

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
