The Hof Live: AI and the battle for reality

Around 230,000 people from over 140 countries converge at Frankfurter Buchmesse every year. It’s where they engage with the profound issues of our time in myriad ways – as authors, translators, agents, publishers, journalists and many other roles. Frankfurter Buchmesse is one of the world’s most important trading hubs for content. It is also becoming a key platform for discussing the pressing challenges of world affairs and current events.

Frankfurt Calling promotes this global dialogue, putting it centre stage, literally. Plus, it offers space and a framework for ongoing active development. It’s a place for debates, lectures and discussions with intellectual depth. It’s a place for diverse international perspectives in the fields of politics, culture and the arts.
