The annual strategic meeting of the municipality of Emmen on January 15, 2024 titled 'Vision Emmen 2033' engaged a broad audience from the public sector to discuss the possibilities of AI technologies and how they will or could affect public services. Part of the supporting program was the interactive exhibition “Voice Matters”, which was already exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and various prototypes, which showed the audience the potential of voice-controlled devices. Around 250 people from the municipality engaged with and explored the capabilities of voice-based AI.
