The jury had not recognised this. The world did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some, he was a troublemaker. For others, he was the \u2018poster boy of the AI debate\u2019 (SZ), the \u2018man who opened Pandora\u2019s box\u2019 (The Age).

For two decades, he worked as a freelance strategist in digital marketing for agencies such as R\/GA, MRM McCann, Saatchi &amp; Saatchi, Scholz &amp; Friends and Endemol Shine. At the same time, he taught creativity, idea development and AI at over 40 universities and Goethe Institutes worldwide \u2013 from Melbourne to Ludwigsburg to Dhaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2022, he has been one of the most sought-after international experts on AI-generated images and videos, giving keynotes at TEDx, re:publica, Handelsblatt Centillion, Medientage M\u00fcnchen, World AI Conference Shanghai and C2 Montr\u00e9al, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He currently teaches \u2018AI for Creatives\u2019 at LABASAD \u2013 Barcelona School for Art &amp; Design. He lives and works in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You might find yourself saying afterwards:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t want a feel-good speech \u2013 we wanted disruption. And that\u2019s exactly what Boris delivered: crystal clear, uncomfortable, brilliant. After his presentation, our team was in intense thinking mode.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Boris Eldagsen not only inspired us \u2013 he also unsettled us. And that was a good thing. His keynote was an intellectual rollercoaster ride, but with style and substance.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Boris achieves what few can: he pushes the boundaries of thinking.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Boris simply dismantled the usual speaker dramaturgy \u2013 no storytelling, no hero\u2019s journey, no applause on demand. Instead: depth and intellectual fireworks.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018He was the most uncomfortable, but at the same time most relevant voice at our annual conference. His perspective on AI and creativity broke many thought patterns \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what we wanted.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018We were impressed: Boris combines artistic attitude with analytical acumen. He doesn\u2019t talk about AI \u2013 he lives in discourse. Our audience felt that.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boris Eldagsen \u2013 Philosopher, AI artist.
