Exploring the Intersection of Generative AI and Human Behavior: A Keynote Talk in Frankfurt

Last week, June 27, 2024, I had the privilege of sharing my insights in a Keynote talk at Denodo’s Data & AI Day in Frankfurt, speaking to leaders from Germany’s 🇩🇪 finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and automotive companies. Invited by Daniel Rapp of Denodo to offer a different perspective between tech-focused discussions, I approached the subject from the lens of philosophy and human sciences, emphasizing our incredible adaptability and resilience.

In a world full of uncertainties, business strategies demand more than just linear roadmaps that overlook unexpected twists. My goal was to take the audience back in time to our cultural and technological evolution, showing how our ancestors adapted to tools and technologies, a trait we must cultivate in our organizations today.

By integrating anthropology and psychology, we can uncover the hidden “why” behind conventional AI and data insights. I highlighted how Generative AI (GenAI) offers unprecedented opportunities for scenario planning and simulating human behavior, enabling organizations to build resilient systems capable of anticipating, identifying, interpreting, and responding to changes effectively.

Thanks to Denodo, Otto Neuer, and all organizers (cc Elisa Stahl), speakers and delegates who made this event happen.

Let’s embrace adaptability and resilience, drawing lessons from our past to navigate the challenges of today and tomorrow.
