Artificial Intelligence

AI keynote speakers translate a fast-moving, often unsettling technology into something a leadership team or workforce can actually act on. They speak on generative AI and automation, what it means for jobs and workflows, how to build an AI strategy without losing sight of ethics and trust, and how to prepare a skeptical team for a shift already underway. Fees for AI keynote speakers typically range from $15,000 – $100,000+. Because AI expertise is in unusually high demand right now, we recommend booking 6 to 9 months ahead of your event, sooner for speakers coming directly out of major AI labs or companies.

The Rise of Machine Learning

We’re all familiar with Siri and Alexa, but up until the creation of ChatGPT, the AI we use in our daily lives has been severely limited. Until now, our AI was not self-conscious and lacked any semblance of memory.

However, ChatGPT remembers and learns from every question we ask it and acknowledges its limitations and mistakes. It even mirrors human language and behaviors and is able to read, write, and tell jokes. And now, two of our biggest technology companies have committed to perfecting this artificial intelligence. Where will that take you and your industry?

The Changing Role of AI in Business

As artificial intelligence, Large Language Models, and machine learning become more and more a part of everyday life, companies and individuals are consistently trying to remain on top of the trends and at the forefront of their own industry’s technological advancements.

Generative AI tools are being increasingly used in a range of environments, from creating content marketing copy and images to assisting in financial risk assessment and scanning diagnostic images to help health care professionals more accurately detect anomalies in them. Natural language processing tools are being employed to provide automated frontline customer service, and AI is also helping to manage supply chains.

Ethics in an AI-Driven World

As we move toward an AI-driven future, we must do so responsibly, taking steps to respect people’s data privacy and considering how bias in training data could result in biased models. It’s all too easy to treat AI tools and technologies as a black box and simply “trust the algorithm.” Business leaders have a responsibility to consider how they use AI and ensure it feeds business success while creating a better world for users and consumers.

These AI keynote speakers can help you see what’s possible with AI agents, identify key trends with AI, and understand how you can deploy AI tools alongside human intelligence to build a better future.

How AI Trends Can Help Make Your Teams More Productive

Many believe that artificial intelligence (AI) will be as transformative to life as we know it as electricity was over 100 years ago. It’s worth noting that with the help of machine learning (ML), AI can transform the way you do business, including deep learning, which can help automate predictive analysis. For business leaders, it’s this deep dive that can reveal information such as:

  • Fraud detection measures through facial recognition and anti-fraud software
  • Faster analysis of material for quicker results, from blood results to soil analysis
  • Chatbots to improve service delivery

These applications are just a sampling of what AI has to offer. To help wade through all the business opportunities of AI and related tech, an artificial intelligence keynote speaker can help guide business leaders through this exciting new frontier.

These speakers are experts in the field of machine learning, artificial intelligence, futurism, and technology. They’ve worked across countless industries to understand where artificial intelligence fits into even the most niche companies and they create plans to help organizations utilize the most up-to-date AI technologies.

Adam Cheyer, Co-Founder and Vice President of Engineering of Siri, Inc. and Viv Labs, is a mogul in the world of artificial intelligence. Alongside his team, he developed and incorporated Siri into our daily lives. His newer venture, Viv Labs focuses on where artificial intelligence can move us in the future. In his keynote speaking, he walks audiences through the founding story of his groundbreaking company, Siri, and shares his prediction for where artificial intelligence will be the most impactful across industries. He also tailors his speeches to speak on the future of AI and how it applies specifically to your business.

A name you may not be as familiar with is Mich Ebeling. He is a hacker, innovator, and filmmaker. He’s the recipient of the Top 50 World’s Greatest Leaders, the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year Award, and was listed as one of the world’s most influential creative people by The Creativity 50s.

Called the “Elon Musk of Good,” Ebeling is the only person to ever be honored twice as a TIME Magazine Top Invention of the Year recipient, a two-time Tribeca Disruptor Innovation winner, a WIRED Agent of Change, a fellow with The Nantucket Project, and so much more. All of these accolades came from his creation of Not Impossible Labs, a social technology incubator on a mission to create “Technology for the Sake of Humanity.” In his keynote speaking, he shares his belief system around the future of technology and artificial intelligence and how you and your organization can harness its power for good.

When it comes to the future of technology, you can’t forget Peter Diamandis. With degrees in Molecular Genetics and Aerospace Engineering from MIT and an M.D. from Harvard Medical School, Diamandis uses his expertise and innovative thinking to push the boundaries in technology across many areas, like space, human longevity, venture capitalism, and education. He is the Founder and Executive Chairman of XPRIZE Foundation, in which he leads the world in designing and operating large-scale incentive competitions to promote global innovation and the spread of technology. In his keynote speech, he will push his audiences to break barriers to reach true innovation within their industry using technology and artificial intelligence.

Whether your next event calls for an artificial intelligence mastermind or a hacker using his fine-tuned skills to make the world a better place, our list of Artificial Intelligence Keynote Speakers has someone with a unique experience for every organization. Book an expert in artificial intelligence and machine learning to help your company not just keep up with the latest trends, but set the trends yourself.

AI Keynote Speaker FAQs

An AI keynote speaker focuses specifically on artificial intelligence issues such as adoption, governance, and workforce readiness. A futurist speaker takes a wider view, covering AI alongside other trends influencing the next decade. If your event is specifically about AI strategy, start here; for a wider view of what’s coming, see our futurist speakers.

That depends on the speaker and the brief you give us, which matters more here than for almost any other topic. Please tell us whether your team feels behind or complacent, and we’ll match a speaker whose tone fits that goal.

Not always, but it helps. Some bring general technical or research backgrounds; others specialize in a sector like healthcare or financial services. Please tell us your industry, and we’ll match accordingly.
