The international tourism conference City Destinations Alliance | CityDNA has arrived in Tórshavn – and despite his jam-packed schedule, Tróndur Hentze Sørensen and I managed to snag Bastian Hiller from Teejit for a conversation about AI, tourism and AI agents. We dive into their hands-on session, where participants build AI agents in under two hours, and explore Bastian's broader perspectives on AI, what these agents actually are, and what we might expect from artificial agents in the future – including what it could mean for the Faroe Islands. We also get to try out our amazing AI-translating machine.Bastian Hiller: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bastianhiller/Visit Tórshavn: https://www.visittorshavn.fo/Visit Tórshavn on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/visittorshavnEvropeisk ferðavinnuráðstevna í Havn: https://in.fo/news-detail/evropeisk-ferdavinnuradstevna-i-havnCity Destinations Alliance: https://citydestinationsalliance.org/mpage/HomepageCityDNATorshavn2025Teirra sessión á CityDNA eitur: Workshop: 90 Minute AI Agent: Bring Your Idea to LifeTeejit: https://www.teejit.de/?lang=enCollab-REC: An LLM-Based Agentic Framework for Balancing Recommendations in Tourism: https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.15030Send okkum eini beinleiðis boð umvegis SMSVitja okkum á: vitliki.fo Vitlíki á Bluesky Tróndur H.
