New in 2025: Become part of our community at The Hof – either via Zoom or on site in Frankfurt!

About the session:

In a world where artificial intelligence increasingly generates content, makes decisions, and simulates realities, one central question arises: Who controls reality? The Hof live – AI and the Battle for Reality brings together leading voices from technology, science, and publishing to discuss how we define, perceive—or even rethink—our reality in the age of generative AI. In the unique live format “The Hof,” which has been connecting the global publishing community virtually since 2020, live music, interaction, and networking will enrich the session on the Centre Stage.

Hosted by award-winning journalist Felix Zeltner, enjoy the famous Hof feeling, connect with our guests, contribute your own questions and comments, and meet the worldwide community! As always, live music and mindfulness will be part of the hour.
