Vision
Thomas Frei
Director SAE Institute
Switzerland
“AI is a revolutionary tool for the creative industries. However, it only reaches its full potential in the hands of media professionals when combined with solid expertise, creative understanding and strong technical training.
At SAE Institute, our goal is to educate students who do not merely use AI, but apply it thoughtfully and responsibly – as a tool that expands creative possibilities and accelerates production processes. At the same time, the essential foundation remains storytelling, sound and visual craftsmanship.”
Pasquale de Sapio
CEO & Founder
AI Media Agency
“AI opens a new dimension of creative freedom: ideas can be visualized in real time, narratives can be developed more boldly, and production boundaries can be fundamentally redefined. When used strategically, AI becomes a creative booster — expanding thinking processes, shortening development cycles, and enabling visual worlds that were previously unimaginable.
Yet the decisive factor remains the human element: vision, aesthetic judgment, and strategic clarity are what give technology its direction.”
Chris Beyler
President swiss AI
“AI doesn’t make you less creative. It makes it possible to be more. We believe creativity isn’t a question of talent — it’s a question of tools, and the courage to use them. Too often, AI is discussed as a threat to art and expression. We see it differently.
This day is not a workshop. Not a lecture. Not hype. It’s proof: what happens when people and AI create together — instead of working against each other. swissAI stands for a confident, self-determined way of using artificial intelligence. And that doesn’t start in theory. It starts the moment you begin.
Come. Create. Be amazed.”
