Talks and Video

Earlier this summer I gave the keynote at the Cottingham & Butler CEO Summit in Chicago. This is the argument I made, and why I think most mid-market CEOs are doing the second half of their AI job without ever doing the first.

A keynote to two hundred recruitment leaders, built around a monk on Lindisfarne, a bicycle, and one uncomfortable question: how many people are you prepared to let overtake you?

An evening webinar for Manchester Metropolitan University on one practical question: if you're not a techie, where do you start with AI? My answer is the juice.

My TEDxWarrington talk is out. It starts in 1991 with a dial-up modem and my dad, and ends with a pilot flying into a storm.

My LTSE2023 talk on what generative AI means for higher education, six months after ChatGPT launched: the 4x knowledge worker, why planning by committee won't work, and the pilot in the storm.

The session I gave my Business School colleagues four months after ChatGPT launched: a gap that has just widened overnight, a machine that completes the sequence, and the one part of knowledge work it can't do.
