Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work—faster than most companies can react. Prof. Dr. Peter Buxmann is one of the most sought-after AI speakers in the German-speaking world. As a professor at the Technical University of Darmstadt, a podcaster for the *Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung*, and a company founder, he combines academic depth with practical business experience.

Many people talk about AI. Few explain what it truly means. As a keynote speaker, Prof. Buxmann delivers not hype-driven narratives, but rather robust, evidence-based assessments: Which jobs will generative AI transform? What does this mean for leadership, strategy, and organizations? And what concrete steps should companies take right now? His presentations are geared toward executive boards, senior management, and specialist audiences—at conferences, corporate events, and industry association meetings.
