ANDERS RODEM — TALK DESCRIPTIONS
Last updated: August 2026

IS AI THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO CREATIVITY?
Generative AI makes it possible to move from an idea to an image, a song, a film, or an entire creative universe in minutes. To some, that feels threatening. Anders Rodem argues the opposite: we are entering an enormous expansion of artistic agency.

As creative media converge, artists gain new instruments, new collaborators, and entirely new ways to build worlds. This is an optimistic talk about what happens when technology lowers the barrier to making things without diminishing the importance of taste, experience, and human direction.

UNDERSTANDING AI: FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES TO IMPLEMENTATION
Everyone talks about AI, but few know how it actually works. It looks daunting and turns out to be surprisingly simple. The central idea behind modern AI can be taught in an hour — applying it takes a lifetime. We stick to the hour. The audience leaves understanding not only how AI works, but what it can and cannot do.

AI IN PRACTICE: STRATEGIES THAT ACTUALLY WORK
Ready to move beyond the hype? Anders works with AI full time at Reitan Retail, has implemented it at NBIM, and built and sold his own AI company. This is the practical version: where AI is genuinely being used, how to adapt it to an organisation, and how to keep implementation straightforward and commercially useful.

INNOVATION FOR EVERYONE
After building several companies, patterns start to emerge. Anders shares the methods that reliably accelerate almost any process in an organisation — useful whether the goal is to build a more innovative workplace, start something new, or turn an idea into something real. Expect a rollercoaster of tears, lawsuits, and success.
