Keynotes
I speak about AI, work and entrepreneurship, with current figures from Switzerland and the experience of building my own organisations. I tailor every talk to the audience and occasion.
Topics
Tasks, not jobsWhat AI really does to work
Every job is made of tasks, and they are being redistributed across AI only, Human-AI Collaboration and Human only. With current Swiss data I show why entry-level jobs come under pressure first and why judgement is becoming the scarcest resource.
For: Executive teams, HR, education, associations
The quiet revoltWhy AI strategies fail with people
Almost a third of employees work around their employer's AI strategy. I read this as an early warning system and show what leadership, training and communication can learn from it.
For: Boards, executive teams, transformation leads
Who owns the models?Digital sovereignty as a question of location
Open models from China, rising costs for frontier models and the question of ownership are putting the AI industry's business model under pressure. What this means for companies, investors and Switzerland.
For: Entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers
ZukunftslustEntrepreneurship as an answer to AI
Starting a company has never been as accessible as it is today. I talk about why Switzerland needs a renaissance of entrepreneurship and what it means to be early on a topic.
For: Start-up ecosystem, universities, economic development
