Fabian Westerheide dives into the challenges and opportunities of a world in which intelligent machines and humans coexist together. Artificial intelligence is and will be integrated more into vital parts of human life, and not only human jobs will be replaced by machines. Artificial intelligence will also challenge human thinking, art, and culture. What comes after is the concept of Superintelligence and Singularity.

Fabian has deep roots in the German and European digital ecosystem. After working at numerous tech companies and selling his own startup, he has turned his longtime passion artificial intelligence into an investment activity of his own. As CEO of the family-owned venture capital firm Asgard, Fabian now invests in promising startups in the artificial intelligence and internet-of-things sector. He is the founder and organizer of the annual “Rise of AI” conference and serves as coordinator for artificial intelligence at the German Association of Startups.
