We are living in times of accelerating progress. Machine intelligence is increasingly integrated in vital parts of human life. More and more machines are replacing human work and human thinking. As the CEO of an Artificial Intelligence venture capital fund, Fabian Westerheide follows the progress of AI daily and shares a glimpse of the future where humans must decide on how to live with machines and define their own role in a human-machine world.


We are living in times of accelerating progress. Machine intelligence is increasingly integrated in vital parts of human life. Narrow Artificial Intelligence is driving cars, flying drones, playing chess, winning Go and answering emails. More and more machines are doing physical and cognitive work; create music and art. Machines are replacing human work and human thinking.

Fabian is CEO of Asgard, a family- owned Venture Capital firm based in Berlin. His passion lies in Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things.
He has worked with, started and invested in over 30 companies such as DeliveryHero, Team Europe, Point Nine Capital, Soundbrenner or Wunsch-Brautkleid.de in the European digital ecosystem.
