Portrait of Arno Selhorst
About Arno

Arno Selhorst

AI Transformation & Innovation Manager at Deutsche Telekom, keynote speaker and co-founder of the AI-Pioneers. I don't bring AI into companies as a slide, but as a move you can make — with an eye on the human who uses it.

Since 2022 I have worked at the intersection of generative AI, people and organisations: talks, workshops, promptathons and discussion rounds for thousands of colleagues. My path led through copy and concept, digital products and UX into innovation — and always back to the same question: what does the technology make of the human?

At night I write hard science fiction — an early-warning system for what happens when we degrade the human to a data point. By day I build the counter-recipe.
