AI showroom

Our concern

We are already in constant contact with AI in our daily lives and often unconsciously use many different AI applications. As the Artificial Intelligence Center Hamburg (ARIC), we would like to offer a first point of contact for people of all ages, educational backgrounds and origins who are interested in learning more about artificial intelligence (AI).

We are convinced that a deeper Understanding how technologies work and are used helps to develop a critical and reflective perspective. Confronted with the current global and social challenges of current events, we would like to make our contribution to raising awareness of AI technology and promoting media literacy. Because AI affects us all and the better informed we are about it, the more responsibly we can deal with this technology – whether privately or professionally.

What the ARIC KI showroom offers

In the ARIC showroom, we want to make AI technology as accessible, understandable and tangible as possible. We use various AI applications to show in an interactive and understandable way how diverse AI is already being used.

As an AI competence center, we place particular emphasis on communicating the basic technical functions. We explain various machine learning algorithms by way of example and demonstrate them in a practical way using the exhibits.

Whether at the airport, at the suburban train station, during anti-racism training or in a beehive – AI is used in a wide variety of places and provides support for very different tasks. There are also generative AI tools that we can use to try out AI together in a playful way. Texts, pieces of music, images or even entire music videos can be created. Be curious to see where AI is already being used!

Guided tours and workshops

During a showroom tour, you can expect a mixture of technical theory and a demonstration of the everyday AI exhibits.
We regularly offer public showroom tours for which individuals can register.

The public dates for 2026 are

Registration is always activated three weeks before the tour.

Showroom tours : All dates

Disclaimer:

We can only organize group tours according to available space and personnel capacities and usually require at least four weeks’ advance planning. This is explicitly an information and exchange offer for interested groups who would like to learn more about AI technology within their association. We do not offer team events.

Further information:

Our services are free of charge and barrier-free. A barrier-free toilet is available on the first floor of the building. We offer guided tours in German and English. We can offer group tours Mon-Fri between 10 am and 4 pm. For up-to-date information on dates and registrations, we recommend subscribing to the ARIC newsletter.

There will be a summer break in the showroom in July and August 2026. We will probably not be able to offer guided tours during this time.

For groups: Companies, organizations,
clubs or school classes

We organize private tours for groups of at least ten people. We have space for a maximum of twenty people. If you are interested, please send us an email with the size of your group and your preferred dates:
