Four pillars

My keynote topics

Every keynote is developed individually for your goal, audience and context.

AI, Markets & Power

Does the better model win, or the better calculus? And who decides what counts as progress? Strategy, sovereignty and systemic questions through the lens of an economist.

AI, Work & Value Creation

What happens to a profession when the tasks disappear that competence grows on? Why neurodivergence becomes the skill of the future.

AI, People & Society

When machines advise, decide and console: what remains with us? Can AI be wise? How AI changes our relationships and judgment.

Neurotechnology & Brain Data

Every breakthrough technology is first ridiculed, then feared, then taken for granted. Brain-computer interfaces are starting at phase three. "The Brain Economy: Brain Data, Markets, Power"
