Publishing track record
Twenty Years of Conversational AI & Immersive Technologies
Prof Dr Tania Peitzker — author, educator, technologist — has been building, piloting and writing about AI bots, holograms and screenless human–machine interaction since 2006. Long before the Gen AI wave, she and her teams ran the world's first live hologram-avatar pilots in Europe's public spaces.
From the beginning, one question has run through all of this work: what happens to human sociability when our computing becomes personal, private and screen-bound?
In her April 2023 writing, Dr Peitzker set out the case for screenless, voice-first, communal AI — citing the medically proven links between device sequestration, isolation and illness — years before the world's leading AI companies began moving in the same direction.
The market has arrived.
In September 2026, Cédric O — co-founder of Mistral AI and France's former Digital Minister — launched Mallow (mallow.fr, Paris): a screenless, voice-first AI device for children, backed by ~€10M+ in seed funding from leading European and US investors. Its stated mission: freeing the next generation from "the all-screen era."
Meta continues to invest heavily in holographic presence — most recently demonstrating life-size hologram conversations with its own CTO.
The analyst consensus: the holographic display market is projected to reach $5.3 billion in 2026, growing at 25.5% annually.
In other words: the proof of concept for what Dr Peitzker has been writing about for twenty years — chatbots for good rather than harm, voice-first interfaces that bring people together instead of pulling them apart into their devices.
Her current focus: applied AI strategy, emerging-tech advisory, and the civic potential of screenless, communal interfaces in public spaces.
Applied AI Strategy & Civic Interfaces
Advising European institutions, leadership teams, and public spaces on sovereign, screenless, and human-first AI deployments.
Safe Green AI
EU sovereign tech seminars and slow upskilling retreats.
