Artificial intelligence is no longer a future technology. It is shaping decisions, systems, and societies right now. And as adoption accelerates, so does the tension between two very different visions of what AI should be.
On one side: the platforms of Silicon Valley, powerful, scalable, and deeply embedded in our daily lives. On the other: a growing movement of European alternatives, built on transparency, data sovereignty, and human oversight.
The difference is not just technical. It is philosophical. Who owns your data? Who trains the models? Who benefits, and who decides when something goes wrong?
At aiLand, we put these two visions side by side. Not to declare a winner, but to start a conversation.
aiLand is a free, city-wide AI theme park spread out across the centre of Groningen. We celebrate EU AI initiatives and showcase the creative potential of AI.
Expect a day full of awesome demos, art installations and surprises. More details are coming soon.
