  • The Race for a Billion

    The Race for a Billion
    Jan 7 2026
    In this episode, we dive into the ambitious European initiative offering up to one billion euros to fuel the next wave of AI innovation. I sit down with Johannes Otterbach, the so-called "billion euro man," to discuss how SPRIND is bridging the gap between research and industry, and what it really takes to launch a world-class AI lab in Europe. We explore the challenges of scaling, the importance of industrial-grade AI, and why Europe's unique landscape demands new strategies for success. Along the way, you'll hear our candid thoughts on talent, technology, and the future of frontier AI. If you're curious about the intersection of ambitious funding, cutting-edge research, and industrial application, this conversation is for you.

  • From Charity to Taxpayer: Redefining Annotation

    From Charity to Taxpayer: Redefining Annotation
    Dec 17 2025
    In this episode, we dive into the world of responsible data annotation with Andreas Schachl, co-founder of Responsible Annotation Services. We explore how neurodivergent individuals—especially those on the autism spectrum—are bringing unparalleled focus and precision to the task of data labeling, raising the bar for AI model training quality. Andreas shares the origins of their company, the unique strengths of their team, and why European sovereignty and data protection matter more than ever. We discuss the practical steps involved in their annotation process, how they measure quality, and the real impact their work has on customers and the broader tech ecosystem. Join us for an insightful conversation that challenges assumptions and highlights how inclusive innovation is driving the next frontier in industrial AI.
