DR. MATTHIAS ERNST - STORYMAKER AGENTUR FÜR PUBLIC RELATIONS GMBH

It was with great enthusiasm, to say the least, that I listened to Sven Gábor Jánszky's presentation at the Mittelstandsforum 2019 in Tübingen. I can say without exaggeration that this was by far one of the best and most important lectures I have been privileged to hear in many years. In a time characterized by great fears and worries, this speaker was able to credibly convey that most likely everything will be fine or significantly better than now - not based on wishful thinking, but based on data. I can't stress enough how important it was to hear that.

Ingo Meier - Bankhaus C. L. Seeliger

"We had a wonderful evening at Acanto in Hannover with an "exceptional lecture" by Mr. Janszky. Mr. Janszky fired up the synapses of the guests with his outlooks and forecasts into the future and in doing so managed to create a wonderful arc of tension on the topic: how critically do I deal with the changes of the future or how critical am I of my own attitudes towards the changes of the future and how can I perhaps change these myself in such a positive way that the changes are not perceived as a threat but as a relief. Wonderful!"

"Sven Janzsky stands out from the crowd of futurologists and "digital natives" in a positive sense. Unlike many others who portray the rapid technical development either only as a horror scenario or only positively, Mr. Janzsky sketches a differentiated picture and convinces his audience to see the development primarily as an opportunity and to help shape it proactively. I will also get his book. As a result, a speaker who really deserves 5 stars."

lectures by Sven Gabor Janszky

My son, the cyborg - how technology makes humans more human

In this presentation, Sven Gabor Janszky - Germany’s most innovative futurologist - does away with one of the most widespread misunderstandings of our times: Supposedly, technology is cold and inhuman. And artificial intelligence will degrade humans to the second most intelligent species and therefore lead to the apocalypse. None of which is true, says Sven Gabor Janszky. With charm and lots of verve, the Chairman of the 2b AHEAD ThinkTank explains how today’s development is part of normal human evolution. Yes, computers will be more intelligent than humans. And yes, this will happen smack in the middle of our children’s lifetime, probably around 2050 – this is how the renowned expert on the future starts out on his journey through time and into the future.

2030: How much human tolerates the future?

Digitalisation and automation precede rapidly. Janszky shows a future in which we will live better, healthier and longer, despite those developments – but only if we start to engage. All great and huge promises will become true if we would finally accept that computers are much better in certain subjects than us humans, says Janszky. The general public must lose its fear of data protection to use the benefits of intelligent systems like Big Data and Artificial Intelligence.

Disrupt! The spirit of silicon valley

The last stand of data protection

With the introduction of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), an international, legal framework is to be created. At the same time, the implementation of the new regulations causes many a company quite a headache.

In his fascinating presentation, he explains why we will want to share our personal data in the future.
