Steve Brown

We keep hearing that AI is going to change the world. But will that mean killer Terminators in the streets or new wonder drugs to cure cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases? What should we do to prepare ourselves for the coming technological wave? And how do we make ourselves robot-proof and maintain relevance in a rapidly changing world so we aren’t left behind? AI futurist Steve Brown, formerly a leader at both Intel and Google DeepMind, will answer all these questions and more as he takes you on a journey into artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, and the incredible transformations they will bring to business, education, healthcare, and society. This is a session you will not want to miss.

Generative AI’s remarkable capabilities, substantial commercial potential, and inherent risks have been the talk of every boardroom and leadership team. With new advances coming almost every week, business leaders must navigate a rapidly shifting technology landscape as they review their product, labor, and IT strategies and assess where Generative AI will help them improve customer experience, elevate productivity, streamline operations, and create new value. 

We are entering a new industrial age, the Intelligence Age, where knowledge can be captured and expertise scaled; talent performance can be elevated to superhuman levels, and failure to move with urgency may result in a rapid decline to irrelevance. In this information-packed, inspiring talk, Steve Brown uses straightforward language to explain the critical concepts of Generative AI and share emerging best-known methods for implementing it at scale to maximize impact and minimize risk.  This keynote contains real-world examples, easy-to-remember recipes for success, beautiful imagery, and videos. Your team will come away inspired and excited to explore an AI-based future for your company. Steve uses stories and humor to make key concepts memorable and explains complex technology in a way that makes it accessible to everybody in the room.

When ChatGPT burst onto the world stage in November 2022, the attention it garnered surprised even its creators. Since then, AI’s capabilities have continued to amaze as people use powerful new AI tools to summarize reports, create images, make music, write code, generate video, build websites, and even design new materials, pharmaceuticals, and products. This is just the start of an incredible wave of change coming to us all. Companies are scrambling to build an AI strategy that maximizes advantage, minimizes risk, and creates exciting new opportunities while employees are trying to understand what the AI revolution means for them—their job prospects, future careers, and job satisfaction—and how to make themselves “robot-proof” in a world of AI.

In this fast-paced, inspiring, and informative keynote talk, AI futurist Steve Brown uses video, stories, and beautiful imagery to explain the basics of AI, what it can do, where it's going next, and how to thrive in the coming era of Intelligence. Audiences will become curious, less fearful, and more optimistic about the future and will stop resisting AI and start engaging with it.

What if you could give every worker in your organization superpowers? What if you could offload low-value, boring, repetitive work to AI assistants? What if working alongside AI assistants increased everybody’s job satisfaction, boosting retention and loyalty? 

The latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence are predicted to fuel a productivity boost more significant than the deployment of digital computers in the 1980s and the internet in the ‘90s and 2000s. Companies that harness AI assistants, agentic AI, retrieval augmented generation, and other AI technologies to elevate employee performance will leave their competition behind as they simultaneously boost productivity, quality, innovation, and employee satisfaction. First movers and fast followers will win in the marketplace with increased differentiation and improved customer service. They will also attract the best talent by creating an environment where people want to come to work.

From the CEO to frontline employees, everybody must learn to work effectively with AI to remain relevant in the 21st-century workplace. Don’t miss this opportunity to understand and unlock the power of the latest AI technology in your organization. In this exciting, highly visual, and enlightening talk, Steve Brown will explain how AI will transform every workplace and every role in every company within the next five years and show you how to prepare for the AI-powered workplace of the (very near) future.

The race to build artificial general intelligence, AGI, is well and truly on. But what is AGI, how do we get there, when will it come, and what will it mean for business and society when we get there? Based on expertise gained in leadership at Google DeepMind and Intel, AI futurist Steve Brown tries to answer these questions and explore the road to AGI, exploring potential research paths to AGI and what it will mean for the global economy. This is a keynote that shouldn't be missed.
