About me

Contact

I’m Niklas Gerholm. For nearly a decade I have worked at the intersection of philosophy and artificial intelligence and now I work with companies, CEO:s and boards on theses subjects.

My work began by investigating humans, but during that time AI became increasingly relevant and I finally understood that that was what my work was about: humans and AI.

While most discussions about AI begin with the technology, my work begins with the human being. Artificial intelligence has brought questions about life, consciousness, emotion and intelligence out of academic philosophy and into everyday decisions made by organisations, leaders and individuals.

This human-centred perspective is still relatively rare in the field. Much of the public conversation about AI focuses on systems, capabilities and risks. My work explores something slightly different: what artificial intelligence reveals about the human mind, about our cultures and about the societies we are building.

To approach these questions I draw on perspectives from neuroscience, anthropology, psychology and philosophy. The aim is not only to think deeply about AI, but to make its human implications understandable for people navigating a rapidly changing technological world. I am constantly studying and thus constantly updating myself on AI and human areas.

I currently serve on the leadership group of the AI Institute and collaborate with companies and organisations interested in the human dimension of artificial intelligence.

On this website you can explore these ideas through articles and podcasts. But conversations are always better than texts.
