I began working with artificial intelligence during my computer science studies. From 1994 to 1998, I developed AI systems for organizations including the WHO and the Tyrolean State Parliament. With over 30 years of experience, I am now one of the oldest—cough, I mean "most experienced"—AI speakers in the German-speaking world. My lectures ensure
big eyes
Palpitations
and sometimes goose bumps...
But in the end, I leave my audience smiling and full of confidence.
After all, it's long too late for pessimism.
As a keynote speaker on artificial intelligence and a true cyborg, I explore the future with my audience – live on stage. With interactive thought experiments, surprising insights, and practical food for thought, I prepare you for a world in which science fiction is increasingly becoming reality.
As a TV expert and keynote speaker, I have appeared on SAT.1, WELT, ORF, CNBC, and many other channels. With clear language and the ability to explain complex topics in a few words, I fill every second of television with maximum relevance.
SAT.1 Frühstücksfernsehen is one of the programmes with the highest reach in Germany. For once, I like to get up earlier for that. On top of that, I was allowed to talk about the exciting topic of "Secure Data on the Net".
"Free-spirited corpse wanted for Soko Kitzbühel." Of course I couldn't resist this interesting request. I'll tell you in this blog post how I fared on the shoot and what surprises awaited me there.
What does Facebook need to become a real state? Money, of course! Because I was there for a presentation at Gamescom, n-tv asked me at Facebook's booth about their ambitions in the field of Internet currencies.
Facebook's 15th anniversary was the occasion for the TV station Welt, formerly N24, to invite me for an analysis. What influence does Facebook have on society and politics? Does Facebook have a future?
When I asked the presenter in the make-up what our topic would be today, he simply said: "You, Mr Holz". And really: they had even prepared a short report about me. At least I was very familiar with this topic.
Digitalization teaches us more than others what it means to be human.
Digital humanism is the conviction: If an activity can be digitized, it is not meant for humans in the long run. When everything inhuman has been digitized, what remains is the human being: ethics, empathy and personal responsibility.
Or, in the end, is artificial intelligence also just a human being?
Thought experiments on the digital ethics of health and medicine.
New perspectives on ethical issues in the area of tension between automation and privacy or cost explosion and shortage of skilled workers: Is the robot surgeon coming with a Tesla? Can antivirus software prevent the next pandemic? Can we age gracefully without robotic caregivers?
Looking forward to the future sharpens the focus on the actual challenges and solutions.
The accident is unavoidable. Should the Tesla run over the grandma on the sidewalk or rather the young cyclist with better chances of survival?
Both, of course! Anything else would be unfair. According to the Constitution, you can't weigh human lives against each other.
Tesla's autopilot is a utilitarian, a representative of Anglo-American moral philosophy. In Europe, it meets a duty-ethical traffic guidance system. That will be exciting.
Like few other keynote speakers on artificial intelligence, Christoph Holz translates digital knowledge into logical future scenarios and surprising consequences. The computer science graduate knows how to inspire audiences with his AI keynotes, using witty language, striking images, and extraordinary examples. He connects technology, society, and business into a meaningful whole.
With his thought experiments, Christoph Holz explains the complex digital world in an incomparable and humorous way.
The computer scientist and aerospace engineer knows what he is talking about. He is a start-up founder, Silicon Valley entrepreneur and business angel.
His TV appearances have taken Christoph Holz from CNBC, Deutsche Welle, Hamburg1 to ORF, N-TV, SAT.1, Welt/N24.
In his podcast "Digital Sensemaker", Christoph Holz discusses the sense and nonsense behind digitalisation with a guest every week.
Despite studying computer science, I found a wife and live with her and two children near Kitzbühel. My career? A journey between aerospace engineering, computer science and the implementation of innovative AI solutions:
