Back to the Future of AI | Ep. 28 | Daniel Krauss
Daniel shares how his passion for technology and business led to Flix’s data-driven approach, using early analytics to optimize pricing and routing. He emphasizes that meaningful data, not just volume, is key to AI success.
They further explore Europe's slow AI adoption, contrasting it with faster global integration. Daniel argues that excessive regulation, like the AI Act and strict data privacy laws, stifles innovation while individuals freely share personal data with foreign tech giants. He calls for a more pragmatic, risk-based regulatory approach.
Leadership in digital transformation is another key topic. Daniel highlights the importance of clear communication, adaptability, and balancing agility with structure. He explains how Flix fosters continuous learning and iteration while managing the challenges of scaling this mindset in a large organization.
The discussion ends with Daniel’s vision for Europe—stronger integration, a competitive digital strategy, and leveraging AI for efficiency rather than mimicking Silicon Valley. He sees AI as an empowering tool but stresses the need for forward-thinking policies that drive innovation rather than hinder it.
