AI Entrepreneur, Author & Expert on Media & Democracy

Headshot of Lea Steinacker, AI entrepreneur and expert on media and democracy

Lea Steinacker is an AI entrepreneur, author and leading voice on how artificial intelligence is reshaping public discourse, democratic institutions, and the media ecosystem. Her work sits at the intersection of technology, power and society examining how intelligent systems influence information, trust and collective decision-making.

As AI-driven platforms increasingly mediate what people see, believe and share, Lea brings a perspective grounded in both entrepreneurship and analysis. She understands these systems not only as a commentator, but as someone involved in building, advising and shaping technology-driven initiatives where responsibility, credibility and impact matter.

Her talks are sharp, accessible and intellectually rigorous. They focus on what leadership requires when AI transforms not just organisations or markets, but the information systems that underpin democracy itself.
