A Keynote by Christoph Holz Sets the Tone for Your Event

The digital future that matters

What artificial intelligence really means for your health, your family and your wealth

What does artificial intelligence mean for the things we value most? Digital ethicist and rocket scientist Christoph Holz shows how the digital future extends our health, reimagines our children's education, and remeasures the safety of our wealth. Three questions that matter more than any return on investment — and an evening that sends you home smarter, calmer, and more optimistic.

Three Thoughts from the Talk

We needn't worry about our children in the digital world — they'll manage just fine. If anything, they should worry about us.

When AI relieves us, it can become a gift — a gift of time for one another.

The digital future only counts if, in the end, it leaves more time for health, family, and everything that can't be digitized.

What participants say about Christoph Holz

Voices from hosts and audiences.

Christoph Holz spoke at the 7th Kitzbühel Leadership Forum about the new digital world order. He challenged cherished habits and business models and asked whether there will even be companies or employees in the future. What happens if Amazon, Facebook, or Google fail? He ventured into various thought experiments that may not predict the future, but make complex changes tangible. I can highly recommend Christoph Holz as an excellent speaker — he thrilled our audience and delivered plenty of fascinating input. Unforgettable was his entrance on the monoboard, suddenly rolling into the hall! I would be delighted to have him work for us again in the years to come.

Emotional AI

Whether machines can read feelings, Christoph Holz checked right at the source: at Tawny.AI in Munich he saw how AI recognizes emotions from faces, at audEERING how it reads moods from the voice, at jambit the applications across all industries — plus the SHORE real-time facial recognition from Fraunhofer IIS. On stage he answers the question of why AI can recognize emotions without ever feeling them — and what that means for care, consulting, and advertising.

AI in Healthcare

Christoph Holz knows care from both sides: during his community service with the Red Cross in St. Johann he pulled people from crashed cars and brought elderly people back to their homes after Christmas. His wife Carmen is an anesthesiologist, palliative care physician and ethics consultant — his daily sparring partner for the borderline cases of medicine. For the Helios hospitals, holzweg built the KDOK data capture system, for Novartis the microsite system and the Nicotinell app. On stage, he answers the question of what happens when the care robot rings twice — and where AI helps in care while humans remain irreplaceable.

Generative AI in Enterprise Use

On stage, Holz shows how companies turn ChatGPT, Anthropic & Co. into business success — and where the limits lie.
