appliedAI Developers Meetup @ Munich
The Munich AI Nexus is a senior-level meetup series for architects and engineers solving real-world production AI challenges.
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.
Meetup Focus:
Theme: State: 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?
This module focuses on human-machine collaboration in production AI systems:
when humans should approve, interrupt, or override
how systems escalate uncertainty
how responsibility is shared between users, operators, and agents
how feedback becomes part of the system
how human oversight can be designed without slowing everything down
How you can contribute:
Share your related personal challenge, lesson learned.
Agenda highlights:
Demo tour at fortiss Lab with Michael Neumeier - neuromorphic computing
🎤Talk highlight Dr. Yuanting Liu (fortiss), Head of Human-Centered Engineering at fortiss and author of Human-Centered Machine Learning on designing AI systems that keep humans genuinely in control.
🧩Group Challenge: We'll present a simplified multi-step AI workflow that works under ideal conditions and breaks under real ones. Your task is not to fix the code but to design a state layer around it. <coming soon>
Networking sessions & Pizza
Format:
production system walkthroughs
architectural decision breakdowns
interactive discussion around real failure modes
