The first is a German-language conference, Bildung im Zeitalter der KI (Education in the Age of AI), where teachers, educators, professors, and experts are discussing how AI is transforming schools and universities, the opportunities it creates, and the risks it brings.
The second is the international Digital Humanism Conference 2026, organized by Austrian Academy of Science and dedicated to one of the most important questions of our time: how to advance technology without losing our human values, freedom of choice, and capacity for independent thinking.
What fascinates me is not only the technology itself, but also how different countries and cultures think about it. What are Austrians already doing better than others? What questions are they asking today? Where are they leading the way, and where are they still searching for answers?
The week promises to be rich with new connections, inspiring talks, lively discussions, and, hopefully, some profound insights.
For me, artificial intelligence has never been just about technology. First and foremost, it is about human beings. About how we can use AI to amplify human genius rather than replace it. About how we preserve our authorship, our agency, and our ability to remain the source of our own thoughts, decisions, and meaning in a world where machines are increasingly capable of performing more and more tasks.
I’ll be sharing the most interesting observations, ideas, and discoveries throughout the week.
What do you think: over the next few years, will artificial intelligence primarily empower human beings, or will it gradually make us less independent?
