Consulting
I am an internationally recognised expert on AI and news and have provided consulting services to news organisations, tech companies and other businesses around the following topics:
1) Strategic overview of the AI landscape as it relates to news, journalism, and information as well as online consumer trends, based on the latest academic and industry evidence
2) Help in dissecting news industry trends and their ramifications, including but not limited to AI
3) Workshops on questions of AI risks and benefits and adoption, especially with a view towards broader AI strategy, AI ethics
I also offer bespoke consultations on any of the topics I work on as required and requested.
Public Speaking
I have plenty of experience as moderator, keynote speaker and panellist at industry, academic, and public events and have hosted public panels and given talks and keynotes at various international institutions and for various clients (in both English and German), including the University of Oxford, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, Aspen Digital, Thomson Reuters, Axel Springer, the Online News Association, the MacArthur Foundation, the Nordica AI in Media Summit, SXSW London and the International Journalism Festival (full list available on request). I am a fan of engaging with non-expert audiences and helping businesses and policymakers make sense of the role of AI around information. As such, I welcome invitations for talks, seminars, or workshops or the like.
