Insights

What Clara says about…

… her passion

I love thinking through complex issues and putting them into a larger context. Xayn works on highly complex technology that always needs to be seen in the bigger geopolitical picture – and part of my job is to think deeply every day about the impact of AI on business, society and politics.

… why she joined Xayn

I was, and still am, fascinated by Xayn's deep tech approach – and its unwavering commitment to developing powerful AI based on European values. This is exactly what we need now more than ever.

… the future of AI

The future of AI should be European – and we are working on it. AI is no longer just a "nice to have" or an economic factor, it has also become a security factor. If Europe wants to play a global role, we must do so through technological leadership.
