About Us

We are a community of students and young professionals
discussing the impact of AI & digital technologies.
ConsciousCoders is based on four formats: workshops, talks, publications and our blog.

CONSCIOUSCODERS.workshop

In our workshops students and young professionals identify current challenges and explore solution approaches in a hands-on manner.

The workshops include preparation, inspiring keynote speeches and thematic deep dives in working groups.

CONSCIOUSCODERS.publication

To make sure to preserve and spread our findings, the outcomes of panel discussions, keynote speeches and workshops are published in an attractive and accessible way.

This serves as a basis for further discussion.

CONSCIOUSCODERS.talk

Our expert talks and panels aim to present the work of ConsciousCoders to the public.

We want to foster discussion and interaction of developers as experts of the technology with decision-makers and the interested society.

CONSCIOUSCODERS.blog

Our aim is to offer our community insights to our work, overviews on current technology and controversial aspects we believe should be considered.

The blog also offers a way to express personal opinions for the community of ConsciousCoders.

CHANCES

AI & Big Data introduce completely new business segments and offer immense opportunities to solve global problems efficiently.

RISKS

However, limitations and risks of increasing digitalization and automated data processing need to be investigated and examined with regards to their impacts on our society.

ConsciousCoders

Developers and experts play a central role in shaping these future developments. We provide a platform to discuss and design our own impact.
