​The Munich AI Nexus is a senior-level meetup series for architects and engineers solving real-world production AI challenges.

​Meetup Focus:

• ​Collaboration: Designing Human Oversight That Doesn't Break Your System

  • ​Once AI systems can act, remember and execute, the next question is: where do humans stay in control? How can adaptive AI systems learn from humans without compromising safety, accountability, or control?

  • ​This session explores that question through research, a live industrial demo, and a structured group discussion. Hosted at fortiss Munich.

  • ​We look at this through the lens of collaborative robotics and human-guided continual learning.

​Agenda highlights:

• ​🔬 Research Keynote highlight: Dr. Yuanting Liu (fortiss), Head of Human-Centered Engineering at fortiss and author of Human-Centered Machine Learning, will share research perspectives on designing AI systems that keep humans genuinely in control.

• ​🧩 World Café Challenge: Design the Human Oversight Layer

  • ​In small groups, we will discuss how human oversight should work in systems that learn, adapt, and act.

  • ​The challenge question: When should an AI system stop, ask a human, and make the decision traceable?

• ​🦾 Industrial Research Demo: Michael Neumeier,
  Human-Guided Continual Learning for Collaborative Robots.

  • ​The demo explores a neuromorphic gesture interface for industrial welding. The system combines real-time perception with human-guided continual learning. Operators remain in control of when and how the system adapts, enabling safer and more personalized interaction.

• ​Networking sessions & Pizza

​Network with people before the meetup:

​We've partnered with Bebb, an AI matchmaking app, to help you connect with other registrants before and during the event. Find your matches here.

​Format:

• ​research input

• ​live demo context

• ​structured group discussion

• ​real tradeoffs

• ​synthesis of patterns and open questions

​Why This Exists?

​We noticed something: most AI meetups show you the shiny demo. Nobody talks about why your model works in staging but crashes in prod at 2am. Or why your data pipeline is held together with duct tape and prayers.

​So we built something different. Nine meetup sessions covering the stuff that actually breaks.

​The result? The Production Readiness Blueprint - an open-source collection of patterns that actually helped someone ship something.
