Our Minds Under Siege

ETH AI Center, Zürich, Switzerland
In person

Our Minds Under Siege A conversation on AI, information, trust and the future of human judgment Artificial intelligence is transforming how we search, read, decide and form opinions. As AI systems become increasingly capable of generating persuasive text, images and videos, distinguishing truth from manipulation becomes more difficult—and more important. Join us for an evening with writer and former TED curator Bruno Giussani to discuss one of the defining challenges of the AI era: how to preserve human judgment in a world shaped by algorithms. The conversation will explore the forces that influence what we see and believe, the changing relationship between humans and intelligent machines, and what it takes to remain informed, critical and autonomous in the age of AI.

SBN.Lunch mit Peter Bolliger, Content Creator, Unternehmer & Abenteurer

Churrasco, Zürich, Switzerland
In person

CHASING LIMITS Liebe Freunde Ich freue mich sehr, euch zu unserem nächsten SBN.Lunch mit Peter Bolliger einzuladen. Peter ist Content Creator, Unternehmer und Abenteurer. Mit seinen Videos nimmt er seine Community mit hinter Türen, die normalerweise verschlossen bleiben. Für seine Formate war er unter anderem bei der Schweizergarde im Vatikan, trainierte mit der Patrouille Suisse, begleitete Spezialkräfte und Spitzensportler und stellt sich selbst immer wieder aussergewöhnlichen Herausforderungen. Dazu gehören unter anderem ein Ironman, Wüstenmarathons und Ultratrails. Nach seiner Ausbildung zum Polymechaniker und ersten Erfahrungen im Marketing entschied Peter, seinen sicheren Karriereweg zu verlassen und seiner Leidenschaft für Videos zu folgen. Heute hat er daraus eine eigene Marke und ein Unternehmen aufgebaut. Unter dem Titel CHASING LIMITS sprechen wir mit Peter darüber, warum er immer wieder bewusst seine Komfortzone verlässt, wie aus Neugier ein Geschäftsmodell wurde und was ihn antreibt, ständig neue Grenzen zu suchen. Datum: Donnerstag, 22. Oktober 2026 Zeit: 11:45–13:30 Uhr Ort: Churrasco Steak & Nikkei Cuisine, Glockengasse 9, 8001 Zürich Preis: CHF 69.– (inkl. Vorspeise, Hauptgang, Mineral & Kaffee)
