I write about the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence technology and its possible impacts on society. Originally from England, I spent some time at the BBC in London before moving to Switzerland to join SWI swissinfo.ch.

I am a Visual Storytelling Producer specialising in long-form and serialised multimedia productions. I collaborate with journalists to improve tools and workflows across languages, ensure content style compliance, and lead the research and implementation of innovative visual techniques. Born in Italy and raised in Africa, I now call Switzerland home. I studied film directing at the Italian National Film School and worked as a documentary editor and director/producer in Berlin and Vienna. I specialise in crafting multimedia into engaging narratives.
Maurer was speaking as part of a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He explained, “You rarely know when the degradation and spiral will happen. We see fragile contexts but don’t know which ones will blow up on our face.”(Matthew Allen/Carlo Pisani. swissinfo.ch)
