Collectively, we’re on a good path to building the Matrix [epistemic status: 50%].
On a shorter time-scale and more personal level, I‘m helping large industries leverage and make use of cutting edge technology, in order to create better experiences, better outcomes and greater value for it’s employees, customers and stakeholders. I co-founded Signatrix to help retail – one of the world’s largest employers and contributors to global GDP – understand what’s really going on inside of their stores and optimise on that basis. Retailers are able to drive revenue, reduce losses and improve employee and customer happiness using our AI platform. There’s a tremendous opportunity to leverage existing sensors, infrastructure and data to make physical spaces as seamless, easy and efficient as, in some areas, their online counterparts already are. With Signatrix, we’re helping retailers pioneer that change.
I also believe that groups outperform individuals and that increased communication and sharing creates economies of scale within ecosystems. Therefore, I’ve co-founded the German AI association (KI Bundesverband e.V.) representing the majority of Germany’s AI startups. The association successfully enables knowledge exchange among participants and between the association and policy makers who greatly profit from a close feedback loop with practicioners, researchers, founders and investors in shaping their AI policy.
