#17: Dr. Alina Nikolaou (Co-Founder, Director & Curator of TEDAI Vienna)

Episode 17 of Point of View: Future is
here!  


We’re joined by Dr. Alina Nikolaou, Co-Founder, Director &
Curator of TEDAI Vienna, for a deep dive into where innovation
and especially AI is taking us. Kicking things off, we explore
TEDAI Vienna, with its next edition coming up in September 2025.
From hunting ideas, not egos, for the stage, to the post-event
“black-out”, we take you through the process.


We also dive into AI’s explosive growth, job risks, and Europe’s
AI Act ambitions. Alina reflects on her VR research roots, poetry
as a human reset, and why vulnerability could be our strength. Is
AI a climate fix or a power hog? Will Europe lead or lag in the
tech race? Is poetry the secret to staying grounded?  


Press play for a conversation that’s raw, sharp, and human.
