Poziv na predavanje: "Digitization and Artificial Intelligence – How they are disrupting our world"

Sažetak predavanja

Currently, disruption is probably the most important buzzword to be heard in the Silicon Valley. In his presentation, Stefan Jenzowsky, expert on business model innovation and digital disruption, explains what it is all about. How will technology like Artificial Intelligence change the world?

Stefan Jenzowsky takes you along on a journey to the near future and into the world of new technology, creative disruption and venture capital – as investors particularly like to invest in technology leading to disruptive business models. Jenzowsky illustrates how disruption works in practice and indicates the main trends and driving forces: artificial intelligence and decision logics will change numerous professions, making some of them superfluous even. Digitization lowers entry barriers and eliminates information symmetries, thus granting a multitude of small companies the opportunity to attack the core of your business model.

Today, the internet platform AirBnB, for instance, lets more rooms than all of the largest hotel chains combined and has never built a hotel of its own. In many cities, the Uber app nowadays dominates the market for transport services but does not own a single taxi. Young start-ups replace existing business models and are successful in less time than ever before. From his stays in the Silicon Valley, Stefan Jenzowsky knows that the thought pattern prevailing there pays off. Financial backers invest billions, “While in Europe, an evolutionary way of thinking predominates, the U.S. think in a revolutionary way“, says Jenzowsky and wants to trigger a process of rethinking.

But which technologies, business models and developments will determine our life in the future? In his presentation, Stefan Jenzowsky provides glimpses into the year 2025, where cars will no longer have a steering wheel, the family doctor will be replaced by an algorithm and almost everything will be delivered by drone. He demonstrates which professions will no longer exist and which industries will be affected by these developments in the future.
