Nina Schick is an author, commentator, and speaker on artificial intelligence and emerging technology.
Nina Schick is the strategic mind behind Industrial Intelligence — the thesis that AI has ceased to be a business opportunity and become the definitive engine of hard power.
The race toward AGI is not being won in code alone. It is being won through mastery of the industrial stack: energy, semiconductors, and compute. The nations and enterprises that control this infrastructure will define the next century of global power.
Now based in the United States, Nina’s role is to ensure the right organisations understand what they are building—and what is at stake if they don’t.
Nina’s strategic framework is engaged by institutions operating at the highest levels of global decision- making. She has advised the Secretary General of NATO, briefed U.S. President Joe Biden, and works directly with the U.S. Army, the United Nations, and Mastercard on the intersection of AI, sovereignty, and statecraft.
She curates private convening for Fortune 50 leadership—salon-styled dialogues where the architects of the new industrial stack sit alongside senior defence and enterprise decision makers. These are not panels. They are the conversations that shape strategy before it becomes a consensus.
Keynote Topics:
- Industrial Intelligence: The New Age of AI Power
- AI, NATO, and the Future of Defence
- AI and the Future of Economic Power
- And more…

Nina’s strategic lens was forged navigating the structural fractures of European power. For a decade, she operated at the heart of UK and EU policy — through Brexit, energy crises, and the erosion of democratic trust. She worked on Emmanuel Macron’s 2017 presidential campaign and advised on the DemocracyPerception Index, the world’s largest machine learning study on global attitudes toward democracy.
Her 2020 book, DEEPFAKES, was the first to establish the geopolitical framework for generative AI—years before it entered the global mainstream. It introduced the concept of the ‘Infocalypse’ and became a foundational reading for national security and defence institutions worldwide.
Half-Nepalese,half-German, fluent in multiple languages, Nina has lived and worked across Europe, Asia, and North America. She spent seven years as a strategic analyst for CNN, Bloomberg, and Sky, not as a commentator, but as a primary intelligence source during the defining geopolitical fractures of the decade.
As non-biological intelligence becomes a utility, Nina is focused on the most consequential question of our era: what happens when the price of intelligence falls to zero?
