First contact with artificial intelligence twenty-two years ago, at AIM Software, a Viennese financial middleware company that was already working with neural networks at the time. Richard ran their US sales out of Wall Street, with Standard & Poor's and Bloomberg as key data partners. Co-founder of one of Austria's first internet companies before the dot-com bust. Built a manufacturing operation in China \u2014 first a chemical plant with its own mechanical engineering, then a machine factory and a chemical mixing facility, producing on-site in Asia. An Istanbul office with a partner. An international consulting practice spanning from Australia to Dubai. Six languages \u2014 German, English and Spanish active daily, plus French, Portuguese, Mandarin. English rebuilt autodidactically, driven by the Wall Street years.<\/p>\r\n <p>Austrian-Swiss dual citizen, citizen of the city of Geneva. Lived in thirteen countries and worked across four continents. A father who raised his children across continents \u2014 the children as fellow travelers through the international stations, with his own educational model.<\/p>\r\n <p>Today Richard lives <strong>multi-locally<\/strong>, with home bases in the Colombian Andes, the Salzburg mountains, on Isla Margarita, in Siem Reap and in Dubai. In April 2026 he founded the <strong>Geneva Institute for ASI Resilience<\/strong> as the institutional response to the urgency described in his book <em>Freedom After Superintelligence<\/em>. There he works philosophically on the questions of the transition phase \u2014 identity, responsibility, and preparation.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"band alt\" id=\"as-father\"><div class=\"sheet\">\r\n <div class=\"lead-2col rv\" style=\"margin-bottom:34px\">\r\n <div><div class=\"kick\">Upbringing<\/div><h2>As a Father<\/h2><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"prose\"><p>The children are not an appendix to his travels \u2014 they are fellow travelers. They grew up multi-locally, at home in several countries at once, with stations in Colombia, the United States, Taiwan, Brazil, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Emirates. Austria remains a fixed anchor \u2014 the grandmother lives there, the children went to school there, and an apartment in Salzburg is kept to this day. Switzerland holds the paternal roots \u2014 that is where the Geneva Institute is based, and where the children have friends.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"father-grid rv\">\r\n <div class=\"prose\">\r\n <p>The educational model is built around this reality. Homeschooling as the foundation, complemented by local schools at locations with cultural depth. Languages are not taught but lived \u2014 German, English, Spanish and Portuguese, plus others depending on the location. Sports, physical independence, and early exposure to unfamiliar systems are mandatory.<\/p>\r\n <p>Behind this model lies a philosophical conviction. A generation growing up in a transition phase \u2014 where the world of the parents and the world of the children will no longer be the same \u2014 needs competence, not protection. Competence in languages, in geographies, in bureaucracies, in relationships. Preparation, not preservation.<\/p>\r\n <p>This philosophy of upbringing is a central motif of the book <em>Freedom After Superintelligence<\/em>, where it is concretely developed.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/zh722F9F\/20250209-150244.jpg\" alt=\"In the mountains\"><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"story rv\"><div class=\"frame\">\r\n <div class=\"kick\">From Life<\/div>\r\n <p class=\"tale\">In Venezuela he took on the secret police to get a friend out \u2014 a friend who had vanished over a rental dispute. A hundred newspaper articles, a publicized phone number, kept going until the man was released. Then he realized: the same apparatus could come for him next. He got his family out through fifteen roadblocks; at one of them a soldier photographed his passport and sent it to Caracas, just before Christmas. That night the sentence that now carries his entire work became clear to him: <span class=\"punch\">Without an exit option, you can be coerced.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <a class=\"more\" href=\"#books\">More of this in Freedom Tests \u2192<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"band\" id=\"books\"><div class=\"sheet\">\r\n <div class=\"lead-2col rv\" style=\"margin-bottom:30px\">\r\n <div><div class=\"kick\">Work<\/div><h2>Books<\/h2><\/div><div><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"books\">\r\n <div class=\"book rv\">\r\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/2YRG51kF\/portada-libro-ai.png\" alt=\"Cover Freedom After Superintelligence\">\r\n <div>\r\n <h3>Freedom After Superintelligence<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"tagline\">The overlooked scenario \u2014 how to prepare yourself and your family for the smartest machine in history.<\/p>\r\n <p>The people building AI openly warn of the possibility of extinction. Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel have long since arranged bunkers, passports, and escape plans for themselves. What these people do privately is missing from every family in the world: a systematic preparation strategy that holds up under any scenario \u2014 even if the optimists are right. Richard calls it the 13th scenario, the blind spot that AI experts don't follow through to its conclusion.<\/p>\r\n <p>The book delivers both: a falsification framework you can use to test which AGI prediction holds up, and five building blocks \u2014 geography, mobility, speed, mindset, spiritual root \u2014 that work in any future.<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"meta\">First edition May 2026 \u00b7 in cooperation with the Geneva Institute for ASI Resilience<\/p>\r\n <p><a href=\"https:\/\/freedomafterai.com\/op\/freiheit-nach-der-superintelligenz\/\">More about the book<\/a><\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"book rv\">\r\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/RpWjVcxf\/freedom-tests.png\" alt=\"Cover Freedom Tests\">\r\n <div>\r\n <h3>Freedom Tests<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"tagline\">A report from three decades between systems.<\/p>\r\n <p>A report \u2014 not a manual.

First contact with artificial intelligence twenty-two years ago, at AIM Software, a Viennese financial middleware company that was already working with neural networks at the time. Richard ran their US sales out of Wall Street, with Standard & Poor's and Bloomberg as key data partners. Co-founder of one of Austria's first internet companies before the dot-com bust. Built a manufacturing operation in China \u2014 first a chemical plant with its own mechanical engineering, then a machine factory and a chemical mixing facility, producing on-site in Asia. An Istanbul office with a partner. An international consulting practice spanning from Australia to Dubai. Six languages \u2014 German, English and Spanish active daily, plus French, Portuguese, Mandarin. English rebuilt autodidactically, driven by the Wall Street years.<\/p>\r\n <p>Austrian-Swiss dual citizen, citizen of the city of Geneva. Lived in thirteen countries and worked across four continents. A father who raised his children across continents \u2014 the children as fellow travelers through the international stations, with his own educational model.<\/p>\r\n <p>Today Richard lives <strong>multi-locally<\/strong>, with home bases in the Colombian Andes, the Salzburg mountains, on Isla Margarita, in Siem Reap and in Dubai. In April 2026 he founded the <strong>Geneva Institute for ASI Resilience<\/strong> as the institutional response to the urgency described in his book <em>Freedom After Superintelligence<\/em>. There he works philosophically on the questions of the transition phase \u2014 identity, responsibility, and preparation.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"band alt\" id=\"as-father\"><div class=\"sheet\">\r\n <div class=\"lead-2col rv\" style=\"margin-bottom:34px\">\r\n <div><div class=\"kick\">Upbringing<\/div><h2>As a Father<\/h2><\/div>\r\n <div class=\"prose\"><p>The children are not an appendix to his travels \u2014 they are fellow travelers. They grew up multi-locally, at home in several countries at once, with stations in Colombia, the United States, Taiwan, Brazil, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Emirates. Austria remains a fixed anchor \u2014 the grandmother lives there, the children went to school there, and an apartment in Salzburg is kept to this day. Switzerland holds the paternal roots \u2014 that is where the Geneva Institute is based, and where the children have friends.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"father-grid rv\">\r\n <div class=\"prose\">\r\n <p>The educational model is built around this reality. Homeschooling as the foundation, complemented by local schools at locations with cultural depth. Languages are not taught but lived \u2014 German, English, Spanish and Portuguese, plus others depending on the location. Sports, physical independence, and early exposure to unfamiliar systems are mandatory.<\/p>\r\n <p>Behind this model lies a philosophical conviction. A generation growing up in a transition phase \u2014 where the world of the parents and the world of the children will no longer be the same \u2014 needs competence, not protection. Competence in languages, in geographies, in bureaucracies, in relationships. Preparation, not preservation.<\/p>\r\n <p>This philosophy of upbringing is a central motif of the book <em>Freedom After Superintelligence<\/em>, where it is concretely developed.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/zh722F9F\/20250209-150244.jpg\" alt=\"In the mountains\"><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"story rv\"><div class=\"frame\">\r\n <div class=\"kick\">From Life<\/div>\r\n <p class=\"tale\">In Venezuela he took on the secret police to get a friend out \u2014 a friend who had vanished over a rental dispute. A hundred newspaper articles, a publicized phone number, kept going until the man was released. Then he realized: the same apparatus could come for him next. He got his family out through fifteen roadblocks; at one of them a soldier photographed his passport and sent it to Caracas, just before Christmas. That night the sentence that now carries his entire work became clear to him: <span class=\"punch\">Without an exit option, you can be coerced.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <a class=\"more\" href=\"#books\">More of this in Freedom Tests \u2192<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"band\" id=\"books\"><div class=\"sheet\">\r\n <div class=\"lead-2col rv\" style=\"margin-bottom:30px\">\r\n <div><div class=\"kick\">Work<\/div><h2>Books<\/h2><\/div><div><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"books\">\r\n <div class=\"book rv\">\r\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/2YRG51kF\/portada-libro-ai.png\" alt=\"Cover Freedom After Superintelligence\">\r\n <div>\r\n <h3>Freedom After Superintelligence<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"tagline\">The overlooked scenario \u2014 how to prepare yourself and your family for the smartest machine in history.<\/p>\r\n <p>The people building AI openly warn of the possibility of extinction. Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel have long since arranged bunkers, passports, and escape plans for themselves. What these people do privately is missing from every family in the world: a systematic preparation strategy that holds up under any scenario \u2014 even if the optimists are right. Richard calls it the 13th scenario, the blind spot that AI experts don't follow through to its conclusion.<\/p>\r\n <p>The book delivers both: a falsification framework you can use to test which AGI prediction holds up, and five building blocks \u2014 geography, mobility, speed, mindset, spiritual root \u2014 that work in any future.<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"meta\">First edition May 2026 \u00b7 in cooperation with the Geneva Institute for ASI Resilience<\/p>\r\n <p><a href=\"https:\/\/freedomafterai.com\/op\/freiheit-nach-der-superintelligenz\/\">More about the book<\/a><\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"book rv\">\r\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ibb.co\/RpWjVcxf\/freedom-tests.png\" alt=\"Cover Freedom Tests\">\r\n <div>\r\n <h3>Freedom Tests<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"tagline\">A report from three decades between systems.<\/p>\r\n <p>A report \u2014 not a manual.
