The degrees that caught my eyes as a student is what I do today

Image
๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐ŸŽ“ When I was a teenager visiting universities to decide what to study, three programs caught my eye. This is what is special about it: ๐Ÿ“’ The degrees that caught my eyes were Sustainability, Artificial Intelligence, and Information Science. ๐Ÿ’ช All three fascinated me but I chose Information Science, because it allowed me to become the bridge between technology and people. I loved the idea of helping users and technicians understand each other, so IT solutions could truly make a difference. Today, this degree also covers cybersecurity. ♥️ Now, fast forward about 20 years, I find myself working to make the world more secure across all three fields I once considered! ๐Ÿค– It may seem broad, but this mix of interests is more relevant than ever. If we want to protect today’s world, we need to understand the technologies, like AI, and how it impacts our people, planet, and prosperity. ๐Ÿ˜ It’s a full circle moment, and one I’m very excited about!

Protecting the foundation of life: fungi

Image
๐Ÿ„ Fungi are everywhere: in the air, on our skin, and under every step we take. Without them, we wouldn't be alive. And yet, we're missing a lot: ๐Ÿ„‍๐ŸŸซ Fungi aren’t just part of nature. They are the foundation because they connect ecosystems, feed plants, recycle life, and store nutrients. Without them, life as we know it wouldn’t exist. ๐Ÿ†˜ Through my sustainability work, I learned how important fungi are and how urgently they need our attention: fungi are still not officially recognized in UN nature protection agreements. ๐Ÿ˜ The good news? I have supported a campaign to change this: Planet Wild, Fungi Foundation and Ecosia are working together to put Fungi on the agenda at the Biodiversity COP in 2026! ๐Ÿ’š Protecting their mission means I help protect fungi, which means I help protect the foundations of life itself.

AI Security & Governance certification

Image
  ๐Ÿค– As I’m writing a book on how AI can be used to do good, I’ve already received many questions from companies. Most come down to: How can we use AI securely, support our business processes, and reduce risks? ๐Ÿ† To help answer those questions more deeply and to stay up-to-date with recent laws and regulations, I completed the AI Security and Governance certification! ๐Ÿ˜Ž It’s such a fascinating field, full of both challenges and opportunities. And it’s clear: responsible AI isn’t just a tech topic, it’s a business essential for long-term success. ๐Ÿ’ช I feel incredibly motivated to keep learning more and to help organizations use AI in ways that are safe, ethical, and aligned with long-term impact and #sustainability.

AI can be used to prevent car accidents

Image
  ๐Ÿค– I'm writing a book about how Artificial Intelligence (#AI) can be used for good. I just finished a chapter on a life-saving application: preventing road accidents. ๐Ÿ†˜ Each year, around 1.35 million people lose their lives in traffic accidents, and over 50 million are injured, despite safety measures like speed limits, traffic rules, and crash data analysis. ⛑️ AI offers a powerful new layer of protection. By analyzing complex patterns in real-time, including traffic flow, weather, and driver behavior, it can help prevent accidents before they happen. ๐Ÿ›Ÿ Imagine the lives that could be saved. Maybe even your own. ๐Ÿš— Now think of the resources spared: fewer vehicles destroyed, less waste, and reduced environmental damage. ๐Ÿ’ฐ And what about the financial savings ,from emergency services, hospital care, and legal costs? How do you feel about using AI to make our roads safer? PS: Let me know when you would like to be notified when the book is finished, I'm happy to keep y...

Journalist joined to report about cleanup

Image
๐Ÿงน Yesterday’s cleanup was something special and actually pretty exciting: ๐Ÿ–ผ️ Our goal was simple: clear the marketplace of cigarette butts. 12 volunteers showed up, but we weren’t the only ones. A journalist from the Stuttgarter Zeitung, which has about half a million readers, joined too, taking powerful photos, asking great questions, and he afterwards interviewed me as the initiative’s lead two more hours. ๐Ÿšฌ In just 1.5 hours, we picked up over 3,500 cigarette butts. The place now looks cleaner, and even more importantly, it got people thinking. Many thanked us, one person even handed me 10 euros, and we had a lot of great conversations. ๐Ÿ’ก The action raised awareness: one tiny cigarette butt can poison 50 liters of water. That’s about how much one person drinks in a month! ๐Ÿ’š I'm so grateful for everyone who joined and look forward to making more positive waves when the article is published, showing how small actions can have a big impact.

First chapter finished on new AI book!

Image
  ๐Ÿ“— After recently finishing my books "A Guide to a Healthier Planet 3" and the German translation of Volume 2, I thought I’d take a break. But… my hands started itching again. ๐Ÿ–Š️ This week, I finished the first chapter of a new book and I truly enjoyed it. And although the book is about how Artificial Intelligence (#AI) can be used for good, I’ve found that with the huge amount of writing experience I’ve gained over the years, it's actually faster for me to write by hand than to ask AI for help. ๐Ÿง‘ ๐ŸŒพ The chapter I just finished is about a topic that’s incredibly important: how AI can be used for smart farming. ๐Ÿ˜‹ Smart farming uses technologies like AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve food production. And that matters because today, 1 in every 11 people in the world faces hunger, and 1 in 4 lives doesn't know where there next meal will come from. In my upcoming book, I’ll explain how AI can help farmers grow food in smarter, more sustainable ways an...
