Homborsund AI Summit
18. april 2026
Proof of Human
AI is no longer arriving. It arrived. Agents run your deploys. Models draft your contracts. Something roughly your height is learning to open doors. The question is no longer what AI can do — it's what humans are still for.
Proof of Human is five talks and one long evening dedicated to the parts of us that don't fit in a context window. We're not here to panic, and we're not here to optimize. We're here to figure out what deserves to stay human — and what we might as well hand over.
Expect uncomfortable questions disguised as polite talks, demos that refuse to stay on script, and at least one speaker who will make you reconsider your entire career over a bonfire.
Join us at the Homborsund AI Summit 2026.1
This edition just wrapped. Relive the sparks below and keep an eye out for what comes next.
Five Perspectives on Being Human
Each speaker brings a different lens to the same question. None of them have the answer. That's the point.
Michael
Michael recently became a father. His child will never remember a world without AI in it — will never not know the feeling of talking to something that answers back. What does that childhood look like? What do we teach, what do we protect, and what becomes of curiosity when every question has an instant, confident answer? A quieter talk from someone who has suddenly started thinking about the long term.
Robin
Everyone was excited at the kickoff. The pilot worked. The demo got applause from people who don't usually applaud. And then — nothing. The budget moved, the sponsor changed roles, and the Slack channel went quiet. Robin investigates the scene of the crime, talks to the usual suspects, and asks why organisations keep murdering projects that were technically alive.
Open floor
Everyone has a prompt that works a little too well and one that fails for reasons no one can explain. Bring yours. We trade tricks, superstitions and half-working incantations — and then ask the harder question: when the models get better at reading us than we are at writing to them, what is a prompt, really? And what comes after?
Lars
If AI can write, diagnose, plan and execute — what exactly should a person spend their Tuesday doing? Lars takes on the largest question of the decade with the calm demeanor of someone who has already made peace with several possible answers.
Øyvind
Short answer: we probably don't. Long answer: when models can reason, remember and spin up exactly what you need based on who you are, the whole concept of an 'agent' starts to feel quaint. Øyvind makes the case for retiring a buzzword before it even peaks.
Everyone
The real talk happens after the talks. Dinner, demos, bonfire debates and the kind of half-formed ideas that only surface when the projector is off and the sea air hits. This is the part no AI can replicate. Yet.
Summit Schedule
Explore the lineup of thought-provoking talks and interactive sessions.
All times end in -ish because we respect the audience more than the clock. If a talk turns into a conversation, we let it. If dinner runs late because someone's demo actually works, we celebrate.
Doors open — coffee, coastline calibration and small talk that might be generated
Opening words & the state of being human in 2026
Talk: 'Growing Up in the Age of AI — Now What?' — Michael
Talk: 'Who Killed the AI Project?' — Robin
Break — stretch your biological legs
Speakers Corner: 'Prompting — what's working, what's next' — Open floor
Talk: 'What Are Humans For?' — Lars
Talk: 'Why Would We Need Coding Agents in 2026?' — Øyvind
Dinner, demos and arguments about consciousness
Open floor — lightning talks, rebuttals and unfinished thoughts
Bonfire, cold sea air and proof that you were here
Proof of Human
We used to prove we weren't robots by clicking on traffic lights. Now the robots click better than we do. So what's left?
The models are productive. Relentlessly, tirelessly productive. What they cannot do is show up, look someone in the eye, and mean it. This summit is built around presence — yours.
AI is very good at answers. It turns out the hard part was always knowing what to ask. We're gathering people who are still genuinely confused, and we think that's a strength.
You can watch talks online. You cannot sit around a bonfire on the Norwegian coast and argue about consciousness with strangers who will become collaborators. That part requires showing up.

Vågsholt skole, Krømpe
This little white schoolhouse in Krømpe is where Homborsund AI builds momentum. It is closer to a workshop than a conference centre — no running water, no mains electricity, but plenty of heating, candlelight and an honest-to-goodness utedo a short walk away. Bring curiosity, something thoughtful to eat and a beverage you would trust around robots (beer or wine seem to flatter AI discussions); catering remains firmly in your capable hands while we handle the warmth, atmosphere and agenda that politely ignores boardroom formalities.
Vågsholt skole, Krømpe
Homborsund AI brings everyone together at the old village school in Krømpe, a short hop from Grimstad and within easy reach of Kristiansand and Arendal in the Agder region. It is a stripped-back, warm space that keeps the focus on people, prototypes and whatever refreshments you were clever enough to stash in your bag.
What you should know
- No running water on-site — pack bottles or top up before you arrive.
- There is no mains electricity, so charge devices in advance and bring power banks.
- The heated main room keeps everyone toasty even late into the evening.
- A classic utedo (outdoor toilet) handles the practicalities — rustic, but clean.
- Food and drink are emphatically BYO — craft beer or a conversational bottle of wine has a curious sympathy with AI.

We stock extra blankets and firewood; you bring the provisions. Consider how well a contemplative lager or mischievous wine supports late-night model talk, and pack accordingly.
