AI, Ethics & Society
Understanding power, rights, and responsibility in the age of AI.
AI is no longer just a technical subject. It is changing the way power works, how decisions are made, and how much control we have over our lives without us even knowing it.
In this section, I discuss the human side of AI, including privacy and surveillance, algorithmic control, digital rights, how it affects families and children, and what it all means for democracy and society.
The goal is not to frighten you but to help you understand difficult issues so you can think clearly, make better choices, and act with purpose.
Digital Literacy: The Starting Point for AI and Society
If you don’t know much about this subject, start with digital literacy.
Before we discuss rules, AI risks, or surveillance, we all need to know the basics of how data is collected and how algorithms change what we see, buy, or even believe. This explains why digital literacy is crucial for protecting individuals’ rights and enhancing their opportunities.
Digital literacy needs to be a national priority if we want people, families, and leaders to be able to use AI and the digital bubble with confidence instead of confusion.

Europe’s Bold AI Gamble: Can a Sovereign, Ethical Model Compete with the U.S. and China?
The new large language model that Switzerland made for the public is more than just a technical achievement. It shows that Europe is trying to create its own moral and independent way of using AI, separate from the U.S. and China. The main question is whether a model based on values can still compete in a world where size, speed, and private capital are the most important things.

Tip #10 – Safety without Freedom is not Safety
Cameras and AI systems promise to make things safer, but they often come with the cost of being tracked and watched all the time. In this short video and reflection, I think about whether we are really safer or just being watched more than ever. I also talk about why safety without freedom isn’t really safety at all.
Bring these insights to your organization.
I have worked in IT and digital transformation for more than 20 years, helping companies update their important systems and use new technologies. One thing has become very clear over time: the hardest questions are no longer just about technology. They are about trust, responsibility, and the kind of future we are making for the next generation.
As a digital transformation leader and the author of Life in the Digital Bubble, I focus on linking AI and infrastructure choices to their effects on people and society. This way, leaders can move quickly without losing control, and families can thrive instead of feeling overwhelmed.
I offer keynotes, workshops, and executive sessions that are tailored to your needs if you want to go beyond just being aware and start having honest, useful conversations about AI, ethics, and society in your organization. We can talk about things like
- How AI and automation change who has power and who is responsible
- How to find the right balance between safety, ease of use, and freedom
- How to make AI and data plans that people can trust
