The AI Revolution

What generative AI means for society, the labor market and business operations – a bold look at disruption and opportunity.

More detailed information

This inspiring lecture provides explanations and offers many appealing examples of AI and generative AI, the next big step. Generative AI models not only provide text, images and videos. They can also optimise finance, sales, HRM, facility, operations, marketing, and management business processes. Based on learned patterns, smart and fast algorithms will be able to change specific activities in just about every sector.


This lecture offers you the right knowledge, inspiration and mindset to understand the next step in AI. The lecture will be  tailor-made for your organisation or event.


Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI


What exactly is artificial intelligence (AI)? And what is generative AI? What are some of the recent developments and major breakthroughs, and which applications do we see now? Everyone is talking about large language models (LLMs), but what are they and how exactly do they work? We’ll show you how images, videos, deepfakes, and analyses are created and complex problems are solved by providing inspiring examples. It is amazing to see what is already possible now and what might be possible in the future is inconceivable.


Powerhouse of possibilities


Generative AI offers us boundless possibilities. This game changer is like a learning, dreaming, creating all-rounder. It can produce, compare, enrich, and interact, and takes us into a future we can hardly imagine. From our morning routines to the way our world turns - generative AI is the secret ingredient that makes our workplaces, organisations, and our economies more efficient. It even improves our wellbeing. That's what generative AI can do for us.


Generative AI for sectors


Generative AI will completely transform entire sectors. We’ll take you on a journey through these different sectors and show you how this type of AI can lead to incredible innovations. It's all about 'changing the game' and embracing generative AI. Along the way, you'll be introduced to inspiring examples from various industries.


Consequences for our jobs


Generative AI is headed towards the job market like an express train. Many existing positions will change or even disappear completely. But amazing new roles are also emerging. Which jobs will disappear and how should organisations deal with this? And what does this mean for education? Are you ready for the generative AI jobs that will be coming our way in the next few years?


Economy and politics


AI already significantly impacts the global economy, and generative AI will give the economy of tomorrow an even greater boost. Even the political arena cannot keep up with these rapid developments. What plans should organisations and governments have in place to control these AI developments?


Ethics and safety


In this keynote, we’ll look at potential bumps in the road, discuss important issues like ethics and doing the right thing, and try to weigh the 'wow' and 'oops' aspects of AI. We’ll talk about safety nets, think about regulation, and discuss how to keep AI on the straight and narrow. With the right approach, we can make sure AI works for us, not against us, and hopefully avoid potential problems.


The autonomous future of generative AI


The future of AI looks promising. Think of AI as a toolbox with solutions to all the big challenges in the world - and our personal problems. We're talking about AI agents that can find answers to everything at lightning speed. These algorithms draw from enormous knowledge sources, making them reliable advisors for people and organisations.


How do we prepare?


AI will bring about huge changes for all of us. And since we humans are the ones who shape organisations, we need to know how to deal with these changes. What are the best ways to deploy generative AI so that we can benefit from it? And how can leaders encourage their teams to embrace change and fresh ideas? And which skills do we need to keep up with the rapid developments of generative AI? What does the AI organisation of the future look like?
