The Board.

Frederik Füssel is a producer, entrepreneur, and consultant with around 30 years of experience at the intersection of media, technological innovation, and security-related developments. He began in 1992 at ABC TV Austria and from 2001 to 2007 produced Volume — over 150 episodes with international guests including Metallica, Nickelback, The Hives, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

His key film projects include The Perfect Pickup, A Town Called Purgatory, People of War, and The Eternity Man. A Town Called Purgatory won at the Garden State Film Festival in 2024. The Eternity Man received a nomination at the Odesa International Film Festival and screened in the International Competition at the Warsaw Film Festival.

In 2007, Frederik Füssel founded Filmstadt Baden, home to Austria's largest green screen. In recent years he has worked intensively with artificial intelligence — from concept design to AI-supported films and new audiovisual formats, including hybrid live-action and AI-generated productions. His position is clear: AI cannot be stopped, but it must be regulated, controlled, and used responsibly — particularly regarding the rights of actors and artists.

From his documentary work in the context of the war in Ukraine, a further field of activity emerged. Frederik Füssel spends significant time with military actors and at the front, gaining direct practical insight into the use of AI in defence and security-related technologies. Today he advises companies, institutes, governments, and military actors in both development and procurement. The ethical framework remains central to his work: AI deployment requires clear accountability, binding rules, and regulation that continuously keeps pace with technological progress.

Patrick Casey Prager, B.A., is a Master's student in Interdisciplinary Ethics at the University of Vienna. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy with specialisations in ethics of technology, medical ethics, and the ethics of war, he combines theoretical depth with hands-on experience in IT consulting and organisational leadership. His work focuses on the responsible implementation of AI in business and public institutions.

Jeremy James Wilhelm, Dipl.-Bw. is founder of JJW Project Solutions and certified AI trainer at WIFI Vienna. He brings together 25+ years of international experience in IT transformation and implementation projects with deep AI consulting and training practice — bridging a gap that many AI offerings leave open: not only knowing what AI can do, but how it integrates into real business processes and complex IT landscapes.

As Programme Manager and Project Director, he has led large-scale digital transformation programmes for international corporations including adidas, Lindt & Sprüngli, METRO, and SPAR — managing portfolio structures with over 45 parallel projects and international teams of up to 70 people. He now brings this enterprise experience directly into the SME world.

As a certified KMU.Digital consultant, WIFI diploma trainer, and keynote speaker on AI transformation and digital readiness, he accompanies organisations from initial orientation through to measurable implementation. His approach combines strategic AI adoption, hands-on training for executives and professionals, and professional IT project management — with the conviction that technological change succeeds through change management, clear processes, accountability, and ethical guardrails.

David Mirga is an AI author and generalist with a long-standing presence in the German-speaking AI community. A digital native who has been actively exploring the potential of new technologies since the early 2000s — starting in social media marketing, then moving into social recruiting — he has focused exclusively on artificial intelligence since 2022.

He has published four books on AI, including the first comprehensive German-language AI lexicon with over 5,000 entries. He has researched and analysed AI implementations across international markets and regularly publishes articles on LinkedIn covering AI workflows and real-world use cases. His areas of focus include multi-agent orchestration, EU AI Act compliance, ISO 42001, and the practical enablement of organisations and institutions.

His drive: helping people overcome their fear of AI and the future — by giving them the knowledge and tools to use it effectively.
