Keynotes with practical impulses
The expectation is clear: AI should reduce work, speed up processes and relieve teams. But the reality is different. AI doesn't reduce work, it intensifies it — more output, higher quality, and new tasks that didn't even exist before. But this is exactly where the opportunity lies: AI makes skilled workers a decisive lever in creating value. In this session, Christopher shows how to do this using specific use cases from practice. Not 10% faster — but up to 10x more productive.
AI is not just changing tools, but entire ways of working. Classic dividing lines between engineering and BI are blurring, while new, AI-based workflows are emerging.

Simon is founder and managing director of taod. In his podcast AI & Why, he talks to people from companies, science and tech about how AI really gets to work. Where there is a crunch. Which works surprisingly well. And what we all haven't understood yet. For him, the podcast is not a format, but a learning space — out of curiosity and because he wants to be part of this change.
