Speaking

"I talk about AI the way I wish more people did — with technical rigor, cultural context, and respect for the audience's intelligence."

My talks sit at the intersection of AI, culture, and the communities most affected by how institutions deploy these technologies. I draw on an MIT PhD, 8+ years of public AI education, and direct advisory experience with organizations like YouTube and the Gates Foundation.

What I speak about:

AI Literacy & Public Understanding

Why understanding AI matters for everyone, not just engineers. The thread that runs through my TEDx talk and most of my keynotes.

AI Implementation & SMBs/Startups

How to decide whether you should incorporate AI into your business in the first place, and how to make it stick if you do.

AI, Identity & Inclusion

Not abstract ethics problems — lived experiences that shape how communities respond to and are affected by these technologies.

The Creator Economy & AI

How AI is reshaping creative work, platform dynamics, and the relationship between creators and the companies that host them.

AI Governance & Civic Participation

The argument at the center of my forthcoming book: engaging democratic institutions beats either uncritical adoption or wholesale rejection.

Generational Perspectives on AI

Why younger workers respond to AI differently than employers expect, and what institutions miss without that voice in the room.
