Nina Schick is a globally recognized expert on AI, geopolitics, and power. She has been at the forefront of how AI is reshaping global dominance—not just in business, but in military strategy, economic infrastructure, and state power. She was among the first to predict the societal impact of AI-generated content (Deepfakes, 2020) and now leads the conversation on Industrial Intelligence—the idea that AI is not just a software revolution, but a physical, geopolitical, and industrial transformation. A trusted advisor to world leaders, Nina has worked with the NATO’s Secretary General, and leading AI companies on strategy, regulation, and deployment. She has advised President Joe Biden, helped shape EU policy for nearly a decade, and collaborates with frontier AI firms, including Synthesia and Truepic.
Her work focuses on three critical fronts:
AI as Hard Power – How AI is the next arms race, reshaping national security and military strategy.
The AI Energy & Compute War – How AI’s physical infrastructure (chips, data centers, energy) is creating new geopolitical tensions.
The Industrialization of Intelligence – Why AI is the next industrial revolution and how governments, businesses, and economies will need to adapt.
She is a sought-after speaker at Davos, CES, Web Summit, CogX, TEDx, and regularly appears in MITTech Review, WIRED, TIME, and Bloomberg. Half-Nepalese, half-German, she speaks seven languages and has worked across Europe, Asia, and North America. Now based in the U.S., she is focused on how AI will reshape global power in the 21st century.
Semiconductors, GPUs, and data centers are the new weapons of power. With Nvidia controlling 95% of AI compute and China accelerating domestic chip production, we are entering a new era of AI-driven geopolitics. Who owns the compute, wins the future.
AI is the ultimate force multiplier—for both democracies and autocracies. China is racing ahead with state-controlled AI, while the West debates regulation. Will AI entrench authoritarianism, or can democracies still lead?
AI is not just about automation and software—it’s an industrial revolution that demands energy, infrastructure, and compute at an unprecedented scale. Data centers, chips, and energy grids are now as strategically important as oil pipelines. This session explains how Industrial Intelligence is the real battleground of AI supremacy.
AI is the most energy-hungry technology in history. Data centers already consume more energy than entire countries, and by 2030, AI could account for 20% of global electricity demand. This talk explores why AI is an energy wildcard, how it will reshape global energy policy, and whether nuclear power is the only viable...
AI is revolutionizing intelligence, military strategy, and cyberwarfare—but is NATO ready? As a former advisor to NATO’s Secretary General, I break down how AI will shape the next era of defense alliances, and what it means for U.S. and European security.
AI is not just a tech sector—it will redefine the global economy. From financial markets to industrial policy, AI’s disruption will create winners and losers. Which economies will dominate the next phase of AI-driven growth?
AI is no longer just software—it’s a strategic weapon. The U.S., China, and Russia are in an AI arms race that will define the next century. From autonomous weapons to AI-powered cyber warfare, this talk explores how AI is redefining military dominance and the future of global security.
