AI as Assistant Doctor in Bielefeld: Understand the medical future

When artificial intelligence thinks along in the doctor's office

How is Artificial Intelligence changing medicine? The open event AI as Assistant Doctor invites you to the Knowledge Workshop Bielefeld on October 28, 2026, to understand, critically question, and experience medical AI. The focus is on specific research work on the interaction between doctors, patients, and digital technologies.

Making diagnoses understandable

The event shows how AI can support medical decisions. Together, we will examine how diagnoses and therapy options are weighed and why understandable justifications for trust in medicine are crucial. It is not just about future visions, but about tangible questions from practice and clinical everyday life.

Three research stations, many perspectives

At three stations, visitors will gain insights into current research approaches from the University of Bielefeld. Prof. Dr. Hanna Drimalla investigates how people in explanatory situations show whether they understand content and what influence stress or mental burdens have on these signals. Prof. Dr. Stefan Kopp focuses on shared decision-making between doctors and AI. Dr. Helen Beierling demonstrates how people can train a robot through targeted inputs and understand learning processes.

Medical AI to understand and question

The event experience is aimed at adults, teenagers from 14 years, and seniors. No prior knowledge is required. The calm, open event atmosphere of the Knowledge Workshop creates space for questions, discussions, and personal assessments: How helpful is AI in medical everyday life? How understandable must digital recommendations be? And when does trust arise?

Part of the GENIALE Day on language and speaking

The offering is part of the GENIALE Day on language and speaking. The event planning combines science communication with practical insights and makes complex topics accessible. In addressing target groups, understandability, dialogue, and the societal significance of Artificial Intelligence are central.

Conclusion: Experience the medical future live

Those who want to better assess the opportunities and limits of AI in medicine will experience an informative and illustrative afternoon here. Visitors will discover current research, discuss the role of digital assistance systems, and take away new perspectives on diagnoses, explanations, and treatment decisions. Admission is free, and registration is not required.
