Listen Later

After years of intense startup work and long-haul flights, a doctor told Lars Tvede to take a year off. He moved to the Swiss mountains to rest. Instead, he ended up starting two new companies. He simply couldn't help it. It is what makes him happy.


That instinct hasn't changed. Today, Tvede is behind Supertrends, a platform that uses AI to help businesses make better predictions about the future. In this episode, host Magnus Oxenwaldt dives into the philosophy behind Supertrends. We also talk about reinventing the media with an AI-powered news and insights platform built around "breaking views" rather than breaking news.


If you want to understand where technology is heading, this conversation is worth listening to.


Key ingsights:

·     Supertrends monitors 5,000 publications daily in 40 languages, tracking 4,000 technology predictions

·     The AI system now handles work that previously required 160 human experts

·     China remains the biggest challenge – Tvede calls it his greatest blind spot for emerging tech

·     New venture “Project Y” aims to launch an AI-powered media company in Denmark
