INSIGHTS FROM OUR ALUMNI

Thierry Faber, Luxembourg

A mindblowing insight into the future.

Claire Dubosc, France

The AI Writer’s Bootcamp challenged my perspective on AI and storytelling in the most enriching way. The combination of expert insights and well-designed interactive sessions made it a truly valuable experience. Yes, I used AI to write this statement, and yet, it’s still entirely me.

Sophia Ayissi Nsegue, Germany

This bootcamp made me feel all the feelings – but I think, that it also cured me from my initial fear of AI, and rather made me curious for the future!
