Talks I give
Four talks. Each one tailored to the room.
As a keynote, a panel, a guest lecture or a hands-on workshop.
Cheap to make, expensive to judge
AI made producing work cheap. Judging it is now the bottleneck, and the skill worth paying for.
For leadership teams and companies
The broken first rung
AI now does the work graduates used to learn on. What students, universities and employers do next.
For universities and student bodies
AI as staff, not a chatbot
How professionals hand real work to AI without handing over their judgment. Works best as a workshop.
For teams and professional bodies
Building in hard markets
Technology calls for founders who build without safety nets, from someone who still sells in one.
For founder communities and accelerators
