THE FUTURE OF AI & GEN AI
WHY MATTHEW, WHY NOW
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.
KEYNOTE OVERVIEW
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.
COMPLIMENTARY KEYNOTES
As a General Purpose Technology AI impacts everything so the number of keynotes that compliment it are almost infinite. The most popular include, in alphabetical order: The Future of Cyber and Data, The Future of Creativity and Innovation, The Future of Education and Learning, The Future of Leadership, The Future of Synthetic Content, The Future of Work and the Workplace, and hundreds more.
LEADERSHIP IN COMPLEX TIMES
WHY MATTHEW, WHY NOW
We live in the most complex business environment ever where changing consumer behaviours, regulatory change, and technology led disruption are permanent stalking horses, and as the average CEO tenure time halves today over 40% of CEO’s don’t think their companies will be viable in ten years time. The fundamentals of business and global markets have changed beyond all recognition, demanding new mindsets and new forms of leadership. As a serial entrepreneur and author who’s built and led multi-billion dollar business units for companies including Atos, EMC, and IBM Matthew has extensive experience navigating change and helping leaders succeed against all odds.
KEYNOTE OVERVIEW
In this keynote Matthew gives leaders and their teams examples of how they are being disrupted and outpaced by technology and visionary competitors, opens their eyes and their minds to the new art of the possible, then arms them with the mindset and tools they need to dominate the future.
COMPLIMENTARY KEYNOTES
The future is shaped by the convergence of many different technologies and trends, and this keynote can be complimented by others including: The Future of AI, The Future of Business, The Future of the Customer Experience, The Future of Disruption, The Future of Industry, The Future of Learning and Development, The Future of Sales, The Future of Supply Chains, The Future of Sustainability and Sustainable Investing, The Future of the Workforce and Workplace, and many more.
THE FUTURE OF LEARNING
WHY MATTHEW, WHY NOW
Today disruption and change are the only constants, job automation is a near permanent stalking horse, and the concept of one job for life, and ergo the concept of the T-Shaped individual, are disappearing. To flourish tomorrow individuals need to be both adaptable and quick to learn new skills. As a leading authority on the future of education, learning and work, Matthew sits on many international government and multi-national committees and has single handedly been accredited with finding new ways to help accelerate human learning by 6 fold or more.
KEYNOTE OVERVIEW
In this keynote Matthew shows audiences how AI is helping democratise access to education, knowledge, and skills, and how it can be used to help everyone learn any topic 6 times faster than conventional teaching.
COMPLIMENTARY KEYNOTES
The future is shaped by the convergence of many different technologies and trends, and this keynote can be complimented by others including: The Future of AI, The Future of Business, The Future of Education, The Future of Resilience, The Future of Work, and many more.
THE FUTURE OF WORK
WHY MATTHEW, WHY NOW
Today we are being told that AI will partially or fully automate up to 80% of all jobs, and we’re already seeing highly skilled highly paid jobs that many thought would be immune to automation being disrupted. Robots automated Blue Collar Work, AI is automating White Collar work so it’s no surprise that today governments and individuals alike are more worried about the future than ever before. 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.
KEYNOTE OVERVIEW
In this keynote Matthew turns the narrative of the future of work on its head, taking the audience from a world dominated by fear of the future to one where their potential for growth and impact is limitless.
COMPLIMENTARY KEYNOTES
The future is shaped by the convergence of many different technologies and trends, and this keynote can be complimented by others including: The Future of AI, and Technology, The Future of Business, The Future of Creativity and Innovation, The Future of Leadership, The Future of Learning, The Future of Resilience, The Future of Work, The Limitless Future, and many more.

don’t see a slice of the future . see EVERYTHING .
Imagine seeing everything the future has to offer, seeing how it all inter relates, and seeing the whole picture – not just a slice of it. As the only futurist with knowledge of every emerging technology and trend Matthew’s insights are astounding, and this is reflected in his ability to speak on the literal A to Z of subjects and leave the audience and other industry experts speechless and clamouring for more.
So ask yourself this question: Is just a slice enough or do you want to see it all?

Most speakers brag about their their best seller status. I don’t because I give all my Codexes away for free, and it’s not because they’re rubbish it’s because I believe everyone should have access to information about their future.
