SPEAKING
I don't deliver the standard AI briefing. I take one uncomfortable question an audience is avoiding, and open it up in front of them.
Fifteen countries, three continents – from the policy rooms of Brussels, Luxembourg and Paris to Tel Aviv and the University of Maryland, and from a global law firm's partnership summit in Oslo to a public library in a small Czech town.
I TALK ON MANY TOPICS BUT THESE HAVE BEEN REQUESTED OFTEN
How AI governance turns values into metrics
Most boards treat ethics as a statement of intent. It is actually a decision-making system – and it can be measured, built and audited like any other infrastructure. For leadership teams and boards.
Navigating the ethics and law of transformative AI
What happens to a person when the machine starts doing the thinking? A talk about autonomy, judgment and the parts of being human that cannot be outsourced. For general and mixed audiences.
What the AI Act actually asks of you on Monday morning
Beyond the headlines: the obligations that will land on real teams, the ones nobody is preparing for, and how to meet them without stopping the work. For compliance, legal and operational audiences.
What the EU AI Act means for innovation, competition and cooperation
How Europe came to regulate first, what it got right, what it got wrong, and what it means for anyone building or buying AI. For international and policy audiences.
Every talk is rebuilt for the room it is given in. These are starting points, not scripts.

Languages: Czech and English. Czech audiences in Slovakia are well served too – I have spoken in Bratislava many times.
Public interest
I reduce or waive my fee for public institutions, schools and non-profits. Good thinking about AI should not be available only to organisations that can pay for it.
Book me
Tell me who's in the room, what they're facing, and what you want them to leave thinking about. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.
