Perhaps your project? Berlin has a complex urban system shaped by limited staff, fragmented data, regulation, political accountability, physical infrastructure, and long time horizons. The time has come to ask seriously: **How can our new AI capabilities help in decision making?** (eg. decentralized AI, secure compute, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, RAG, Computer Vision, GIS agents, simulations, etc. etc.) ​Together in the room with civil servants and researchers, we will map together: * ​🧩 **What functions AI systems can provide** (e.g., extraction, routing, triage, forecasting, secure orchestration, coordination) * ​📍 **Where those functions intersect with district-level challenges** * ​🛡️ **What must change for responsible public deployment** (auditability, least-privilege access, security, value criteria) * ​🚀 **Which capabilities are ready for applied pilots** — and what a realistic pathway looks like ​This 'working session' builds on nextlearning’s collaboration across district administration, scientific modelling, and civic coordination, and is part of a cooperation with the District of Berlin-Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and the Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology. *** ## ​//AGENDA ​17:15 Doors Open 17:30 Networking 18:00 Pizza ​18:20 Welcome & Context ​**18:30 Framing Input: The City as Ecosystem** Short cases from: * ​Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology * ​District Berlin-Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf ​**18:55 Translation Lab** Structured mapping exercise of your projects & their functionalities ​19:30 — Break --- ​**19:45 Working Groups** Three real-life challenge spaces ​20:30 **Feasibility Round** What realistically moves forward from the night together ​**20:45 Informal discussion** ​21:15 Close & Networking ​ > ​*This is an applied inquiry under constraint.* > *Between acceleration and inertia, there is real design work to be done.

**RSVP on [343 Labs website](https://343labs.de/events/naoba-masterclass/) to reserve your seat!** Ableton User Group and 343 Labs Berlin is proud to welcome NAOBA as part of our Visiting Artist Masterclass series! In this workshop, NAOBA will share her process of building Ableton Live templates that allow her to create and transform sound in real time during performances. Using her archive of field recordings, NAOBA designs flexible systems with Max for Live devices, custom effect chains, and macro-mapped MIDI controllers, allowing the templates to function as expressive instruments alongside live flute and voice. NAOBA will demonstrate how raw environmental recordings are organized, layered, and continuously reshaped through macro controls, spatial effects, and live processing. This approach enables fluid improvisation and the creation of immersive, evolving soundscapes during concerts or streaming performances. There will also be space for discussion and questions about workflow, template architecture, and creative approaches to sound design and live performance.

A welfare state takes responsibility for its people and supports them when in need. When costs are rising, but budgets aren’t, government needs to find efficiency gains to maintain social protection levels. A government-commissioned report recently recommended ways to modernise social and welfare services, making them more people-friendly and less bureaucratic. Meanwhile, small and large projects are underway to make benefits services more fair and easier to navigate, and to make the state overall more equitable. At our March meetup, we will hear about what a modern, digitally transformed welfare state looks like. We will welcome the following speakers: * Florian Theissing, Agora Digitale Transformation * Björn Mohr, Technologiestiftung Berlin * Anja Mayr & Jakob Häußermann, DigitalService des Bundes CityLAB Berlin hosts the event in their stunning 1920s space, a former airport building. All presentations will be given in English. Questions in the later discussion part can be raised either in English or German. Pictures and videos will be taken. ––– Das CityLAB Berlin ist Gastgeber der Veranstaltung und lädt zu seinen beeindruckenden Räumlichkeiten im früheren Abfertigungsterminal des Flughafens Tempelhof ein. Alle Vorträge werden in englischer Sprache gehalten. Fragen im anschließenden Diskussionsteil können sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Deutsch gestellt werden. Es werden Video- und Fotoaufnahmen gemacht.
