Nina Schick's Biography

Nina Schick is a globally recognized expert on AI, geopolitics, and power. She has been at the forefront of how AI is reshaping global dominance—not just in business, but in military strategy, economic infrastructure, and state power.

She was among the first to predict the societal impact of AI-generated content (Deepfakes, 2020) and now leads the conversation on Industrial Intelligence—the idea that AI is not just a software revolution, but a physical, geopolitical, and industrial transformation.

She has advised and worked with global leaders including NATO Secretary General Anders-Fogh Rasmussen and President Joe Biden. Nina helped shape EU policy for nearly a decade. Now she’s a trusted advisor to frontier AI firms and tech firms, including Synthesia, Qlik and Truepic.

Nina is a sought-after speaker at Davos, CES, WebSummit, CogX, TEDx, and regularly appears in MIT Tech Review, WIRED, TIME, and Bloomberg.

Half-Nepalese, half-German, she speaks seven languages and has worked across Europe, Asia, and North America.

Now based in the U.S., Nina is focused on how AI will reshape global power in the 21st century.

Nina Schick's Speaking Topics

  • AI as Hard Power: The Next Global Arms Race

AI is no longer just software—it’s a strategic weapon. The U.S., China, and Russia are in an AI arms race that will define the next century. From autonomous weapons to AI-powered cyberwarfare, this talk explores how AI is redefining military dominance and the future of global security.

  • The Industrialization of Intelligence: The New Age of AI Power AI

Power AI is not just about automation and software—it’s an industrial revolution that demands energy, infrastructure, and compute at an unprecedented scale. Data centers, chips, and energy grids are now as strategically important as oil pipelines. This session explains how Industrial Intelligence is the real battleground of AI supremacy.

  • The AI Compute War: How the Battle for C hips & Data Centers Will Shape Global Power

Semiconductors, GPUs, and data centers are the new weapons of power. With Nvidia controlling 95% of AI compute and China accelerating domestic chip production, we are entering a new era of AI-driven geopolitics. Who owns the compute, wins the future.

  • AI and the Energy Crisis: The Collision of AI and the Global Grid

AI is the most energy-hungry technology in history. Data centers already consume more energy than entire countries, and by 2030, AI could account for 20% of global electricity demand. This talk explores why AI is an energy wildcard, how it will reshape global energy policy, and whether nuclear power is the only viable solution.

  • AI, NATO, and t he Future of Defense

AI is revolutionizing intelligence, military strategy, and cyberwarfare—but is NATO ready? As a former advisor to NATO’s Secretary General, I break down how AI will shape the next era of defense alliances, and what it means for U.S. and European security.

  • AI, Democracy, and Authoritarianism: Who Wins the Future?

AI is the ultimate force multiplier—for both democracies and autocracies. China is racing ahead with state-controlled AI, while the West debates regulation. Will AI entrench authoritarianism, or can democracies still lead?

  • AI and the Future of Economic Power

AI is not just a tech sector—it will redefine the global economy. From financial markets to industrial policy, AI’s disruption will create winners and losers. Which economies will dominate the next phase of AI-driven growth?

  • AI, China, and the New Tech Cold War: How Tariffs and Trade Wars are Reshaping Industrial Intelligence

The U.S.-China tech war is no longer just about semiconductors—it’s about control over the entire AI supply chain. Tariffs, export controls, and investment bans are reshaping the future of AI infrastructure, from chips to data centers to energy grids. How will these escalating tensions impact the global AI economy? Can the U.S. maintain dominance, or is China building a parallel AI ecosystem? This session explores the geopolitical and economic consequences of the AI trade war and what it means for governments, businesses, and investors.
