Speaking & keynotes
Alexander is happy to hold keynotes on innovation and future technology. His favorite subject is artificial intelligence and the law — a topic he approaches from both sides, as a technology executive and as a lawyer.
Speaking enquiries: via LinkedIn.
On AI and the law
Alexander takes a deliberately controversial position in the AI regulation debate: existing law is already sufficient to govern artificial intelligence, and no AI-specific legislation is needed.
Liability, data protection, product safety, non-discrimination and contract law already apply to AI systems. In his reading, the real gap is enforcement and interpretation — not new statutes. He argues this publicly and enjoys the debate it provokes.
