Areas of Expertise

Speaker and moderator Elin Hauge is an artificial intelligence and business strategist, pragmatic futurist, and eternal rebel. With her extensive background from physics, mathematics, business, and law, she brings new and thought-provoking perspectives on the use and development of artificial intelligence. She connects the dots between the pragmatic here-and-now situation and the bigger picture of the future.

​

Her talks span from demystification and pragmatic understanding of the artificial intelligence toolbox to business strategy, leadership capabilities,  and long-term implications. She manoeuvres between future-oriented opportunities and real value creation on one hand and tangible and complex challenges such as trust, sustainability, discrimination, cyber security, and the geopolitical consequences of intensive digitalisation on the other hand.

​

Elin has built bridges between data-fuelled technologies and business value for more than 20 years, with AI as her main area of expertise. Through her work with business leaders and tech entrepreneurs, she has developed an exceptional ability to connect the dots between business strategy and the application of AI. She brings new perspectives to known challenges, relentlessly demystifying jargon and buzz words, and is always three steps ahead with her perspectives on societal implications, sustainability, regulation, security and geopolitics.

​

She has a humoristic, down-to-earth, and pragmatic approach to what is actually possible with AI here and now, what’s responsible to do in the context of both your company and the society, and what you as a leader need to understand to make the right decisions. She then takes the futurist perspective, looking five steps ahead at the potential scenarios and future outcomes, challenging our established beliefs and points-of view.

 

Elin systematically brings in the human perspective; “it is up to us – the humans – to design the future of artificial intelligence to be human-more, not human-less.” In her talks, she provides tangible and well-grounded recommendations for how to reap real benefits with AI, how to comply with regulations, and how to embrace AI as an integral and sustainable part of your business or organization.
