The Promptah #3

I am very proud of the launch of edition #3 of our Promptah magazine that Steffi Czerny and I have been publishing.

Let the Promptah be your source of insight and inspiration on the journey toward an AI future that works for all. And let yourself be drawn in by our award-winning design – honored with the European Publishing Award and the iF Design Award 2025.

The front page of edition #3 features Esther Dyson, a curious investor legend from New York. Her email signature includes the line: “always make new mistakes,” which is truer than ever before. What a time to be alive! The world is moving faster than ever, and the future feels harder than ever to predict. Amidst the rapid changes, Artificial Intelligence stands out as the key technology of our young century. It’s set to drive tectonic shifts across every aspect of life as we know it.
Change on this scale sparks creativity and innovation. But it can also stir unease – fear of the unknown, the hyper-complex, the opaque. In this context, AI is often compared to a black box.

The Promptah is here to shed light on that metaphorical black box. Only with an informed, optimistic mindset can we seize AI’s opportunities and tackle its challenges. In its third edition, the Promptah serves up a carefully – and playfully – curated mix of news to use, and surprising insights from the smartest minds and role models who are currently working on unleashing AI’s capabilities.

What unites them? The DLD community – an international, interdisciplinary network of changemakers rooted in the Munich-based DLD Conference.

A view through the AI fog

What a tech week in the Bay Area. I had the chance to attend both, Nvidia’s GTC and Andreessen Horowitz speedrun demo day. The Game Developers Conference was also in town.

AI is the future of intellectual property which is at the core of democracy and modern economy. Hence, AI sovereignty should not have a defensive touch, but it is key for each country and corporation that they have control over their AI capabilities they need and their data to be able to shape their future. Uljan Sharka, CEO and founder of igenius gave a great speech at GTC about it.

At speedrun, 41 impressive early stage ventures in the areas of gaming and other areas presented. And again, AI is the “game-changer” and disrupting entire industries with incredible speed. For the first time, a game from China was top ranked on the gaming distribution platform Steam. The other important factor became very clear again: the much higher early adoption of users and businesses in the US is a key competitive advantage. These early ventures get out of the gate much faster, with higher user and engagement numbers which again puts them into a position to improve their products much faster.
