1. About the Session
Facts Tell. Stories Sell. AI Promises.
In today’s world, artificial intelligence can generate texts, voices, images and even entire presentations within seconds.
This creates enormous opportunities — but also serious risks.
Deepfakes, fake news and AI-generated misinformation can damage reputations, influence decisions and undermine trust.
In this session, Dr. Nikolai A. Behr and Susan Luke-Evans CSP explored how leaders, speakers and organizations can navigate this new reality.
The key question is no longer:
What is technically possible?
The real question is:
What will people trust?
