Keynotes

Keynote by Matthew Griffin: The Future of AI & Gen AI

Today there is arguably no topic larger than AI. Matthew has been a thought leader in the field for decades, working for companies including IBM and Microsoft. Since 2015, years before the likes of ChatGPT and MidJourney emerged, he has given a string of keynotes on Generative AI to clients including Accenture, BCG, Bloomberg, the UAE and UK Governments, and many others. In 2018 wrote the book on the technology, and lectured at universities including Carnegie Mellon and UCL, then in 2023 he was the first in the world to write a book using it to raise over $25,000 for charity – while at the same time helping multi-national clients such as AON, EY, and Pepsi implement and understand it.

In this keynote Matthew demystifies the world of AI, discusses what it is and what it isn’t, where the technology is headed, and explores the most exhilarating industry use cases, how we control the technology, its ethics, and how we use it for human and planetary advantage.

This keynote contains the following aspects:

AI bias, ethics, and why it will never be safe.

Disrupting global industries in a day preparing.

Society for exponential change.

Strategies for building safer AI.

But there are two sides to every coin. As a leading authority on the future of education, learning, and work Matthew sits on numerous government and multi-national committees and has been credited by several of them as single handedly changing the narrative from one of fear to a story of how technology unlocks limitless human potential.

This keynote contains the following aspects:
