Künstliche Intelligenz und Robotik stehen erst am Anfang – und doch ist absehbar, dass sie nicht nur einzelne Berufe, sondern ganze Vorstellungen von Arbeit, Leistung und gesellschaftlichem Wert verändern werden. Wenn Maschinen sowohl geistige als auch körperliche Tätigkeiten übernehmen können, stellt sich eine grundlegende Frage: **Was bedeutet es dann noch, Mensch zu sein – und wie organisieren wir Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft?** In dieser Diskussionsrunde wollen wir weniger über Technik sprechen, sondern über **gesellschaftliche Folgen**: * Welche Werte würden in einer Post-AI-Welt zählen? * Ist eine Gesellschaft ohne ökonomischen Zwang wünschenswert? * Wie sieht eine mögliche **Post-Work- oder Post-AI-Gesellschaft** aus * Wie verhält es sich mit Macht, Verteilung von Eigentum und Sinn Geht uns die Arbeit aus – oder gewinnen wir Freiheit? Stehen wir vor sozialem Zerfall oder vor einer neuen Form von Wohlstand? Und sind wir kulturell überhaupt darauf vorbereitet? Diese Diskussion richtet sich an alle, die sich für **Gesellschaft, Politik, Ethik und Zukunftsfragen** interessieren – ganz ohne technisches Vorwissen.

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. **YouTube Link** TBD
