Timothy Papendreou’s Speech Topics:

AI: The Most Powerful Technology That Is Changing Your World Forever

Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a tipping point in human evolution. It is transforming the way we live, work, and experience what it means to be human and thus it is ultimately a story about humanity rather than just technology.

As an early participant in the AI revolution, Timothy was part of Google’s Self-Driving company which launched Waymo, the world’s first embodied AI technology in the form of a robo-taxi/trucking service. As a practical futurist with hands-on experience from his coveted role as one of a few special advisors to X the Moonshot factory, (Google’s top secret AI and ML innovation lab) he dives deep into areas like:

-Agriculture, Mining, Forestry, Fishing: AI optimizes yields, predicts disease, manages resources, and automates machinery.

-Manufacturing, Construction, Processing: AI designs products, automates production, predicts maintenance needs, personalizes products and plans construction.

-Healthcare, Education, Retail, Transportation, Finance, Energy: AI personalizes medicine, discovers drugs, tailors education, personalizes shopping, forecasts demand, automates logistics, detects fraud, and provides AI customer service.

-IT, R&D, Higher Education, Consulting: AI assists research, personalizes learning, and generates data-driven recommendations.

-Government, Specialized & Social Services: AI analyzes policies, plans treatments, and delivers basic social services through chatbots.

Tim outlines the key issues and opportunities for your industry, cuts through the hype, and shows you step by step how it will change your work roles, and what it will take for you to keep and grow your market share.

If you are looking for an experienced and engaging keynote speaker who can help you seize the opportunities and prepare you for your organization’s AI journey, then Tim is the perfect choice.
