Why Most AI Keynotes Fall Flat, and What's Different Here
Many AI talks recycle the same headlines. My keynotes come from work I do every day: as Head of Technology at Humaineeti I build the systems that let AI agents work safely alongside people, and before that I spent fourteen years with Hoichoi / SVF, ending as VP of Technology. Your audience hears what works in production, what fails, and what to do on Monday.
