**Requirements Engineering & AI** Wir haben für den 17.6. zwei grossartige Speakerinnen gewonnen, welche über Requirements Engineering & den Impact von AI berichten werden. Zwei Talks zum **Thema Agenten und Personas** und anschliessend Diskussionen dazu. **"KI goes Hollywood: Gib deiner KI eine Haltung und Rolle. Personas im Zeitalter von KI" von Christina Rohrmoser (LEAN-CODERS)** KI ist nur so gut wie die Perspektive, die wir ihr mitgeben. Doch in der Praxis passiert genau das selten: Personas werden halbherzig erstellt, falls überhaupt – und dann selten bis gar nicht verwendet. Und das, obwohl sie Gold wert sind, wenn es um die Nutzung von KI geht. Ein tiefes Personenverständnis ist der Schlüssel. Nicht als Steckbrief, sondern als fiktive Haltung. Egal ob KI, KI-Agent oder Agentic AI: die Persona ist immer relevant, da sie der KI mitteilt, in welchem Kontext eine Entscheidung zu treffen ist – und für wen. In meinem Talk zeige ich, nach welchen Kriterien eine Persona zu erstellen ist, damit KI die ihr zugewiesene Rolle spielen kann – und wie groß der Unterschied ist, wenn KI rollenlos bleibt. Denn ohne Haltung passiert genau das, was viele Anwender:innen bereits erlebt haben: Die KI antwortet – aber am eigentlichen Problem vorbei. **"KI-Agenten - eine neue Generation von Requirements Engineers?" von Brigitte Rafael** Chatbots sind bereits veraltet, KI-Agenten sind das neue Schlagwort. Wer nicht selbst schon einen Agenten gebaut hat, wird in IT-Kreisen mittlerweile schon fast schräg angeschaut. Aber was können solche Agenten wirklich und wie funktionieren sie? Der Vortrag bietet eine kompakte Einführung in KI‑Agenten – was sie sind, wie sie funktionieren und warum sie zunehmend eine ernsthafte Rolle spielen. Wie sieht das im Requirements Engineering aus? Da Agenten ja quasi alles können, können sie auch einen Requirements Engineer ersetzen? Ein Erfahrungsbericht über ein Experiment dazu rundet den Vortrag ab. **Die Sponsoren** 🏢 Location & Catering wird von [LEAN-CODERS](https://lean-coders.at/) bereit gestellt. **🎤 Call for Speakers & Sponsoren!** Und wenn du selbst etwas erzählen willst oder eine Idee für einen Talk hast, dann melde dich einfach. Auch suchen wir nicht nur Sprecher, sondern neue Lokationen zum Vortragen. 👉 **RSVP now!** Die Plätze sind begrenzt, also melde dich bitte an. Wie immer freuen wir uns sehr auf dich!

**Monthly "Pub Moot" and Lecture Series- *in English*** **This Month’s Topic:** **The esoteric coding of gender in the Tarot de Marseille** ***Magician and Strength, Priestess and Pope – why is the Tarot so gendered? We talk a lot today about ungendering the Tarot, but in order to have a nuanced discussion about gender roles in the cards, we first have to understand what the symbolic role of gender was in the first place.*** ***Using the 22 Major Arcana of the Nicolas Conver Tarot de Marseille (1760)—the deck that standardized the Marseille tradition—I explore the symbolism of gender within the Tarot. The cards were not designed arbitrarily; each gendered figure serves a specific esoteric function, revealing a profound interplay of duality and opposition at the heart of the deck.*** ***You might ask why Le Bateleur appears as a man, while La Force is female. What do these choices tell us about spiritual polarity, about creation and reception, action and contemplation? Through Major Arcana, let’s explore the hidden architecture of the Tarot de Marseille and the decoding of the symbolism of gender.*** ***By unravelling these webs of meaning, we shed light on a history of mystical symbolism while questioning reductive or heteronormative notions of what “feminine” and “masculine” energies mean. As people, we are much more than our gender roles—and so are the cards. I invite you to discover how the genders of the Tarot, far from being restrictive, open a path toward deeper spiritual and psychological insight.*** Pub Moots will generally be held on the **4th Wednesday** of every month. Sometimes there will be exceptions based on what is going on, so make sure to check back here on Meetup for the exact information All are welcome- experienced practioners, newbies, merely curious, Wiccans and Wiccan-curious and practitioners of similar traditions and those who have no idea why they want to come but just do and even those who don't know a thing but simply like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and suchlike... :-) **General schedule of the evening:** 19:00- 19:30- Meetup, time to eat and socialize 19:30- 20:30- Lecture and Discussion 20:30-21:00 and beyond- Open discussion and more socializing- eat, drink, and be merry! **Attendance is free** but you will need to buy something at the pub. :-) *(The Pub is old-school Austrian and cash-only, so bring paper money! :-))*

Bei unserer nächsten Ausgabe von Queer Talks widmen wir uns einem Thema, das persönlich, literarisch, sinnlich und gesellschaftlich zugleich ist: Die Sprache der Erotik Zu Gast ist Karin Rick, Wiener Autorin und Publizistin. Sie schreibt seit vielen Jahren über Liebe, Beziehungen, erotische Begegnungen, Lust, Macht und queere Lebensentwürfe. Ihre Texte bewegen sich jenseits von Tabu und Klischee — offen, genau und mit einem besonderen Blick auf das, was zwischen Menschen passiert. Der Konkursbuch Verlag beschreibt Karin Rick als Wiener Autorin, deren Romane Liebe, Sex und Macht miteinander verbinden. Bei diesem Abend sprechen wir darüber, wie Erotik erzählt wird, welche Worte wir dafür finden — und welche vielleicht fehlen. Es geht nicht um Provokation um der Provokation willen, sondern um einen offenen, neugierigen und respektvollen Zugang zu Sprache, Begehren und queeren Erfahrungen. Was euch erwartet Ein Abend mit Gespräch, Lesung und Austausch in angenehmer Atmosphäre. Wir möchten gemeinsam Fragen nachgehen wie: \- Wie sprechen wir über Erotik\, Lust und Begehren? \- Welche Rolle spielt Sprache für Nähe\, Fantasie und Selbstbestimmung? \- Was verändert sich\, wenn Erotik aus queerer Perspektive erzählt wird? \- Wo verlaufen Grenzen zwischen Intimität\, Macht\, Klischee und Freiheit? Wie immer bei Queer Talks ist kein Vorwissen nötig. Du kannst einfach zuhören, Fragen stellen oder dich am Gespräch beteiligen — so, wie es für dich passt. Für wen ist der Abend gedacht? Der Abend ist offen für alle, die Lust auf ein freundliches, respektvolles Gespräch in queerer Atmosphäre haben. Besonders willkommen sind auch Menschen, die neu in der Gruppe sind oder allein kommen. Du musst niemanden kennen und nichts vorbereiten. Wir achten darauf, dass der Einstieg leicht ist und sich niemand fehl am Platz fühlen muss. Ablauf 18:00 Uhr Einlass 18:30 Uhr Begrüßung und Gespräch mit Karin Rick im Anschluss: Fragen, Austausch und Get-together Eintritt frei - Spenden, um die Freizeitgruppe LGBTQ+ Friends Vienna am Laufen zu halten, sind herzlich willkommen. Hinweise Bitte komm pünktlich, damit wir gemeinsam gut in den Abend starten können. Wir wünschen uns einen respektvollen Umgang miteinander. Persönliche Grenzen, unterschiedliche Erfahrungen und verschiedene Perspektiven haben an diesem Abend Platz. Wir freuen uns auf einen spannenden, offenen und schönen Queer Talks-Abend mit euch.

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
