I am founder and CEO of Foundation Autonomous, an independant organisation devoted to societal change through autonomous technology.

Autonomous Vehicles are among the most anticipated technologies of our time. I decided to bring them to Denmark. First installations are expected to hit the roads in Summer 2017.

I have had the privilege to engage audiences across the world. Appearances include India, Costa Rica, Peru, China, USA, and many other countries including most of Europe. I have also spoken at TED, TEDActive and 5 times TEDx.

This photo was shot by Hen Herman for Euroman. Besides the obvious questions posed by this picture, it begs the question: Will robots inevitably carry us? I wonder.

In 2012, TIME Magazine listed me among the 100 most influential people in the world. The work with GEMINOID-DK caught the attention of the world. Because of that project, millions of people now think differently about robots. Photo by Joachim Ladefoged for Time

There is a pronounced fear that we will succumb to our own inventions. And the risk is real. The best strategy for preventing this is to deeply remember what is means to be human.
