Leipzig Leadership Lecture with Prof. Dr. Anastassia Lauterbach

AI: Quo Vadis in companies and geopolitics

Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, redefining power structures, and challenging existing paradigms. But where is it heading? In this thought-provoking lecture, Prof. Dr. Anastassia Lauterbach—an expert in AI, cybersecurity, and digital transformation—will explore the future of AI in businesses and geopolitics.

She will discuss how AI technologies contribute to the proliferation of digital assets and, in turn, influence the valuation of companies worldwide. Additionally, she will provide a unique perspective on democratizing data and AI literacy while explaining why GenAI technologies may never deliver a desirable return on investment (ROI) for investors.

Join us for an insightful session that goes beyond buzzwords to examine AI’s geopolitical and business impact in a rapidly evolving world.

The event is held in English and is free of charge.
