The Atelier Homo Innovaticus already lives in an international environment of universities, innovation communities, symposia and public dialogue. Some of these conversations originate in English and are therefore presented here in their original language.
English Preview Edition · Full German–English Atelier by February 2027
“Who do I want to become?”
On exhaustion, hope and our capacity to become otherwise
A reflection on an image of the human being that refuses to settle for the mere extension of what already exists — connecting lived experience, philosophy and the idea of the Homo Innovaticus as an unfinished human being.
Perhaps the human being has not failed. Perhaps a certain image of the human has become exhausted.
“What am I willing to take responsibility for?”
Remaining responsibly human in the age of artificial intelligence
The question is not which human capacity artificial intelligence will never possess. The question is which human capacities and responsibilities become more important precisely because machines grow more capable.
The human being must not only remain in the loop. Human judgment must remain there too.
Human responsibility is not defined by exclusivity, but by accountability for what becomes real.
“How do I stay true to what I have recognized as right?”
On truth, compassion and staying true to what matters
For people who take responsibility seriously and, for that very reason, sometimes doubt their resistance, their disappointment or their own effect on the world.
Truth without self-righteousness
Compassion without pleasing everyone
Perseverance without stubbornness
Spirituality without retreating from the world
Staying true to one’s path does not mean becoming immovable. It means remaining open to correction without losing oneself.
ISPIM Innovation Conference · Granada · June 2026

AI expands the possibility space.
Human judgment gives direction.
Innovation remains a human responsibility.

HUMAN-IN-THE-LOOP MUST BECOME JUDGMENT-IN-THE-LOOP.
ISPIM · Riga · 2027 · In development
Hannes Erler is already contributing to the planning of the 2027 ISPIM gathering in Riga. The next international conversation around responsible innovation, AI and Homo Innovaticus is taking shape.
It is the art of opening questions so that people can continue working with their own knowledge, their own experience and their own responsibility.
