Knowing your value as a human is the best vaccine against AI fear…

…as most of it stems from an undue feeling of intimidation in the light of assumed competences of AI that the technlogy does not possess.”

This was just one outcome of the many discussions after my talk at the BDO Wirtschaftstalk 2025 in Bern today. A full talk on “The AI Advantage” for businesses, and all (!) Q&A later revolved around the societal challenges. I see a lot of reason for hope there, but it shows once more how important it is to discuss these societal aspects and think through possible futures (all of them, and not only the dystopias of Prof. Harari or the hypes of Mr. Altman), and work towards one we want to live in – because we can.

Thanks for the invitation Matthias Hildebrandt, and for the great moderation Florian Inhauser and talk on US developments Jens Korte. Possibly see you next year in Bern again!
