AI as Hard Power: The Next Global Arms Race.

AI is no longer just software—it’s a strategic weapon. The U.S., China, and Russia are in an AI arms race that will define the next century. From autonomous weapons to AI-powered cyberwarfare, this talk explores how AI is redefining military dominance and the future of global security.

The Industrialization of Intelligence: The New Age of AI Power AI.

Power AI is not just about automation and software—it’s an industrial revolution that demands energy, infrastructure, and compute at an unprecedented scale. Data centers, chips, and energy grids are now as strategically important as oil pipelines. This session explains how Industrial Intelligence is the real battleground of AI supremacy.

The AI Compute War: How the Battle for C hips & Data Centers Will Shape Global Power.

Semiconductors, GPUs, and data centers are the new weapons of power. With Nvidia controlling 95% of AI compute and China accelerating domestic chip production, we are entering a new era of AI-driven geopolitics. Who owns the compute, wins the future.

AI and the Energy Crisis: The Collision of AI and the Global Grid.

AI is the most energy-hungry technology in history. Data centers already consume more energy than entire countries, and by 2030, AI could account for 20% of global electricity demand. This talk explores why AI is an energy wildcard, how it will reshape global energy policy, and whether nuclear power is the only viable solution.

AI, NATO, and t he Future of Defense.

AI is revolutionizing intelligence, military strategy, and cyberwarfare—but is NATO ready? As a former advisor to NATO’s Secretary General, I break down how AI will shape the next era of defense alliances, and what it means for U.S. and European security.

AI, Democracy, and Authoritarianism: Who Wins the Future?.

AI is the ultimate force multiplier—for both democracies and autocracies. China is racing ahead with state-controlled AI, while the West debates regulation. Will AI entrench authoritarianism, or can democracies still lead?

AI and the Future of Economic Power.

AI is not just a tech sector—it will redefine the global economy. From financial markets to industrial policy, AI’s disruption will create winners and losers. Which economies will dominate the next phase of AI-driven growth?

AI, China, and the New Tech Cold War: How Tariffs and Trade Wars are Reshaping Industrial Intelligence.

The U.S.-China tech war is no longer just about semiconductors—it’s about control over the entire AI supply chain. Tariffs, export controls, and investment bans are reshaping the future of AI infrastructure, from chips to data centers to energy grids. How will these escalating tensions impact the global AI economy? Can the U.S. maintain dominance, or is China building a parallel AI ecosystem? This session explores the geopolitical and economic consequences of the AI trade war and what it means for governments, businesses, and investors.

Deepfakes: The Coming Infocalypse.

Uncover everything you need to know about "deepfakes" and what could become the biggest information and communications meltdown in world history.

In a world of deepfakes, it will soon be impossible to tell what is real and what isn't. As advances in artificial intelligence, video creation, and online trolling continue, deepfakes pose not only a real threat to democracy -- they threaten to take voter manipulation to unprecedented new heights. This crisis of misinformation which we now face has since been dubbed the "Infocalypse."

In DEEPFAKES, investigative journalist Nina Schick uses her expertise from working in the field to reveal shocking examples of deepfakery and explain the dangerous political consequences of the Infocalypse, both in terms of national security and what it means for public trust in politics. This all-too-timely book also unveils what this all means for us as individuals, how deepfakes will be used to intimidate and to silence, for revenge and fraud, and just how truly unprepared governments and tech companies are for what's coming.
