The Shape of AI
Embodied vs linguistic intelligence: why AI thinks in a different shape than you do, and where that breaks your intuitions.
Speaking
Keynotes and briefings.
Some companies invite me to explain what AI does to their business. More and more invite me to talk about what it does to us. The evidence base is the same in both.
Executive keynotes
What AI does to your business
AGI: what it means for your industry
What a company should be doing in the years before general AI arrives, whichever year that turns out to be.
The Power of AI
Chips, compute and geopolitics: how the AI race redraws the map your company operates on.
AI transformation vs denial syndrome
Why smart companies talk themselves out of acting, and how to break the pattern.
Human keynotes
What AI does to us
The most requested talks I give are not about AI at all. They are about what it means to stay human next to it – how to work, learn, parent and live when intelligence becomes a commodity. These draw on the same research as the business talks and I hold them to the same standard of evidence. The audience is usually broader and less technical.
Work and its meaning. Learning. Relationships. Raising kids in an algorithmic world. Mental health in the age of AI.
