AI Doesn't Replace Humans —
It Amplifies Who We Are
I help organisations understand artificial intelligence not as a threat — but as the most powerful enhancer of human potential we've ever built. With an engineer's precision, a journalist's curiosity, and 25 years of digital practice.
Not Another AI Evangelist.
A Clear Voice in the Noise.
While most AI speakers sell hype, I deliver clarity. My background is unusual: I'm an engineer who spent a decade as a technology journalist, then built a career where I use AI tools every single day — for research, writing, and content creation. That combination means I understand the technology, I know how to question it, and I can explain it so it actually matters to your audience.
As a published author with Wiley-VCH — alongside scientists like Prof. Dr. Harald Lesch — and a Toastmasters International Speech Contest winner, I bring both substance and stage presence. I don't just talk about AI. I ask the questions others avoid: What does it mean for trust? For truth? For what makes us human?
Engineer & Practitioner
Diplom-Ingenieurin with 25+ years in digital technology. I use AI tools daily in my own work — from research to content creation. I'm not a theorist.
Technology Author & Researcher
A decade of technology journalism and two Wiley-VCH publications taught me to look behind the curtain. I question, I research, I make the complex understandable.
Societal Thinker
My keynotes go beyond technology. I explore what AI means for identity, democracy, and the fabric of human connection.
What I Speak About
Every keynote is tailored to your audience. These are my core themes — each can be delivered as a 20-minute impulse, a 45-minute keynote, or an interactive workshop.
AI and Society
How is AI reshaping our democracies, workplaces, and communities? This keynote cuts through the noise and gives decision-makers the clarity they need — without the jargon and without the fear-mongering.
AI and Identity
When machines can write, create, and reason, what remains uniquely human? A thought-provoking exploration of authenticity, trust, and meaning in the age of artificial intelligence.
Synthetic Content & Deepfakes
How do we know what's real? What verification tools exist? What does the rise of synthetic media mean for enterprises, journalism, and public trust?
AI in Practice
Real stories from my own daily work: which AI tools actually deliver results, which are overhyped, and how to implement AI responsibly in your organisation.
The Future of Work with AI
Which roles will transform? Which will emerge? How do we prepare teams and organisations for an AI-driven future — not with fear, but with strategy and confidence?
Trusted by Decision-Makers
and Conference Organisers
I never thought my view on AI could change in 20 minutes, but Christiane Reichwein made it happen. Her insightful presentation urged me to dive deeper into the topic. Highly recommend her as a speaker!
She skillfully blended informative content with entertaining delivery, dispelling scepticism and fear about AI. I left her session with a renewed curiosity and optimism for the future of technology.
Christiane gehört zu den wenigen Speakerinnen, die technologische Entwicklungen nicht nur fachlich präzise einordnen können, sondern auch deren gesellschaftliche, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Auswirkungen verständlich vermitteln. Ihre Vorträge zeichnen sich durch eine überzeugende Mischung aus inhaltlicher Tiefe, Analyse und einer sehr anschaulichen Präsentationsweise aus. Auch anspruchsvolle Themen vermittelt sie mit Leichtigkeit und einer Portion Humor, ohne dabei an Substanz zu verlieren.
Experience the Keynote
From Hong Kong's Factories to Europe's Stages
My relationship with technology started on the factory floors of Asia. As a young Diplom-Ingenieurin, I managed production sites across Hong Kong and the region — learning first-hand how technology disrupts industries and transforms lives.
The Author's Eye
A decade as a freelance technology journalist (1992–2002), specialising in virtual animations and 3D measurement technologies, taught me something no engineering degree could: how to make the complex understandable. How to question. How to find the story behind the data. That instinct still drives everything I write — from my Wiley-VCH publications to the deep-dive blog posts my readers have come to expect.
The Practitioner's Hands
Today, AI tools are part of my daily workflow — from deep research for my publications to content strategy, SEO, and analytics. When I talk about AI on stage, I'm not quoting papers — I'm sharing what works and what doesn't from real experience.
The Speaker's Voice
Trained through years of competitive public speaking at Toastmasters International, I've won Speech Contests at Area level and deliver keynotes in both German and English. Stage presence? Let's just say I studied ballet and once had Karl Lagerfeld tell me I was made for his clothes. Some things stay with you.
