Fail and Grow: Why Failure Stories Matter in AI Development and Innovation
Klaas Wiggers is the founder of the international initiative #I_make_AI (imakeai.org).

Over 200 videos on YouTube, posts on Instagram, more than ten episodes of the “People of Tech” podcast and the new event series “fail n’ grow” are all part of this initiative.
Since 2021, Klaas Wiggers has been supporting Fraunhofer IAIS in the further development of the Germany-wide “AI4Schools” programme (ai4schools.de), is a consultant for the AI-powered maths app “Magma Math”, and is the initiator of the “MACH2” youth congresses in Germany.
