DINNER TALKS: AI & REAL LIFE

Dinner Talks: AI & Real Life An intimate dinner about how AI is changing the way we think, date, connect and make decisions in everyday life. AI is already helping us write, plan, make decisions and even date. But where is it genuinely making life better? What are we starting to outsource without thinking about it? And as more of life becomes digital, does being together in real life become more valuable? For the first edition of Dinner Talks, we’re bringing a small group around one table for dinner and an open conversation with Erik González. This isn’t a lecture or a technical AI workshop. Erik will introduce a few questions throughout the evening, but the idea is for the whole table to get involved, share experiences, disagree, ask questions and see where the conversation goes. No technical background needed. What we’ll talk about How much of our thinking should we outsource? If AI can write, plan and help us make decisions, where do we want to keep doing the thinking ourselves? AI, dating & relationships Can algorithms really help us find the right person, or are some parts of attraction impossible to optimize? Why offline might become more valuable When messages, content and digital interaction become effortless to generate, what happens to the value of actually showing up in person? What AI is actually useful for Away from the headlines and hype: what genuinely works in everyday life, what doesn’t, and what is probably not worth your time. Meet Erik Erik González works with AI strategy, automation and applied AI through Barcelona-based EREGON Labs, helping turn AI from something people talk about into systems and tools people can actually use. For this dinner, we’re leaving the presentations and technical jargon out of it. Instead, Erik will bring his experience to the table and help us unpack the questions AI is starting to create in normal life.
