THE MIND BEHIND NEXT WAVE SYSTEMS
Ulrike Quade
Authority on human-centered, art-led AI
Twenty-five years at the frontier of art, science and technology: founder of Ulrike Quade
Company, Bunraku puppeteer, MA Scenography (cum laude), and strategic artistic partner in
national AI research programs.
Her work with AI, robotics and XR — Roman & ELIZA, the KUKA opera ORITO, the Sorcha
grief-tech thesis — makes the ethical and human questions of AI usable for organizations. Wim
Meilink Prize, 2022.
