The Conference
A Day of Powerful Talks on the AI Revolution with leading experts
13 April 2023
4:00 pm - 10 pm CET
This is not your regular webinar - we will broadcast from a wonderful studio in the Netherlands and interact with speakers and the crowd a lot! We are looking forward to interacting with you!
AI for and in everything! The advent of Chat-GPT, Dall-E, Vall-E, Copy AI, Synthesia, Podcast AI, voice sensitizing, Midjourney, etc. is only the tip of the iceberg of what we can expect from this AI revolution. This movement will have a great impact on all of us and the way we do business. And it is only the beginning. Are you prepared?
A lot of EO members struggle with answering the question: How will AI impact their business models or how will it create new opportunities? From streamlining processes to driving innovation and growth, AI has the potential to deliver significant benefits to companies of all sizes and industries.
With this in mind, we will conduct an online interactive summit focused on the impact of AI on business, specifically EO members in the USA and Europe. (Only because of timezone issues. If you want us to do an event that suites Asian time zones better, let us know!) The goal of this online summit is to bring together thought leaders and experts from the business and AI communities to explore the opportunities and challenges posed by this rapidly evolving technology.
We believe that by sharing insights, best practices, and case studies, this summit will provide valuable information and inspiration to EO members looking to embrace AI and unlock its full potential. Furthermore, it will create a platform for discussion and networking, allowing attendees to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations.
To say it in EO Berlin’s words: Make the world your Forum!

About MyEO Global AI Summit
Why this summit?
Fascinated by the current AI revolution, we, i.e. Shaheen, Robert, Markus, Eduard and Scott, thought it would be a good idea to share knowledge from global AI leaders with fellow EO members in a cross-chapter effort.
That's how the idea was born to conduct a one-day virtual summit. Simple as that.
For EO, for the community!
Please note: This event is not organized by EO Global but local EO chapters and its members!

Embracing the Future of AI: The Impact of ChatGPT and Beyond
Fabian Westerheide
16:15 - 16:45 CET
In this keynote, we discuss the ongoing transformation of the world through artificial intelligence, specifically focusing on the role of ChatGPT, a large AI language model developed by OpenAI. We begin by reviewing the history of AI, including landmark moments like IBM's Deep Blue defeating chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, Google's AlphaGo mastering Go, and China's massive investments in AI research and development.
As we move into the present, we examine the widespread applications of ChatGPT in various fields, from assisting students with homework to generating advertisements and multimedia content. We also highlight the potential implications of AI-generated language on culture, education, and values.
The keynote raises concerns about the concentration of AI power in the hands of a few global players like OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, and their impact on European independence in AI development. We discuss China's response to this challenge and question Europe's ability to compete in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Finally, we call on the audience to engage with the world of AI, participate in AI events, and consider the implications of AI in both their personal and professional lives.
