Ai @ Kids Day at Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich At Redstone, we believe in the power of transformative technologies like AI to shape a better future. We love to support initiatives that make these technologies accessible and engaging for younger generations across Europe and the world, like the Kids Day at Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich to foster a culture of innovation from an early age. Join us on July 7th, 11h-18h, at Pinakothek der Moderne Munich for a special re-exhibition of the Redstone & Allianz project, ‘Visions of the Future’. Initially showcased at ART DÜSSELDORF, this innovative project used AI, the Redstone data on startups, and the values of Allianz, to envision the future of cities and countries. 🌍 At the ‘Kindertag in der Pinakothek der Moderne’, we invite children to engage directly with this technology, encouraging them to use AI to create their own visions of the future. This is a unique opportunity for young minds to interact with AI creatively and see how it can be used to address global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and societal shifts. 👦👧 Bring your little visionaries to experience how art meets innovation and participate in shaping a view of tomorrow. Let's inspire the next generation to think big and dream about the future! Thanks to Allianz and Pinakothek der Moderne for this innovative collaboration!
