Upskill Your Workforce with AI: The Keynote Speakers Leading the Charge
In today’s digitally charged world, artificial intelligence isn’t just a trend, it’s a transformation. The real question facing businesses isn’t if they should embrace AI, but how fast they can reskill and upskill their teams to stay relevant in an AI-first economy. Corporate learning strategies must evolve and the best place to start is with thought leadership that sparks change.

Enter the AI keynote speaker.

Visionary speakers like Tom Goodwin, Kay Firth-Butterfield, and Nina Schick are not only decoding the future of work but also offering practical roadmaps for embedding AI literacy into company culture. Whether you’re a CHRO, corporate booker, or event planner, bringing these voices to your stage could be the catalyst your organization needs to thrive in this new era.

Why Upskilling with AI Isn’t Optional
According to a recent report by McKinsey, AI could automate tasks accounting for up to 30% of hours worked across the U.S. economy by 2030. This isn’t a far-off reality—it’s happening now. Without deliberate upskilling efforts, companies risk not just falling behind but becoming obsolete.

The workforce of tomorrow will need:

  1. AI literacy for all levels of employees
  2. Cross-functional collaboration with AI tools
  3. Critical thinking and ethical decision-making in automated workflows

To stay competitive, organizations must adopt a proactive approach. And that begins with education and inspiration—from the top down.

The Speakers Powering the AI Conversation
Tom Goodwin – The Innovation Futurist
Tom Goodwin brings sharp insight and refreshing honesty to the AI debate. As an innovation provocateur and best-selling author, Tom challenges audiences to reconsider how they view technology, not as a replacement, but as an enhancer of human potential. His talks help organizations move beyond fear-based thinking into a more strategic, opportunity-focused mindset.

Why book Tom?
His talks empower companies to reframe AI disruption as creative possibility, blending marketing, strategy, and human behavior into accessible AI education.

Kay Firth-Butterfield – The Ethical AI Advocate
As the former Head of AI & Machine Learning at the World Economic Forum, Kay brings unparalleled depth to the conversation around responsible AI adoption. Her focus? Ensuring that AI development and integration happen with fairness, transparency, and ethics at the forefront.

Why book Kay?
She delivers future-of-work sessions with conscience, guiding leadership teams to implement AI in ways that support inclusion, privacy, and regulatory compliance.

Nina Schick – The Generative AI Pioneer
Nina is among the first voices to truly mainstream the concept of generative AI. Author of “Deepfakes”, her gripping presentations reveal how deep learning is reshaping communication, media, politics, and trust.

Why book Nina?
She helps organizations anticipate the next wave of AI disruption, with real-time insights on deepfakes, synthetic media, and the future of authenticity in a post-truth world.

AI Upskilling: Event Themes That Resonate
To truly inspire action, your event should do more than dazzle it should educate. Here are some high-impact themes to consider when building your next conference or corporate event:

  • “The Human-AI Alliance” – How to make your people and AI systems stronger together.
  • “Future-Proofing with Ethical AI” – Embedding integrity into innovation.
  • “AI for All” – Democratizing AI knowledge across your entire workforce.
  • “Surviving Deepfakes & Synthetic Reality” – Building trust in the age of misinformation.

These themes are not only timely but deeply relevant to industries ranging from finance and healthcare to media, education, and tech.

How to Activate AI Learning Within Your Team
Hiring an AI keynote speaker is just the beginning. Here’s how to drive long-term impact:

  • Pre-Event Learning: Distribute curated reading lists, TED talks, and internal webinars leading up to the speaker session.
  • Interactive Q&A and Workshops: Extend the keynote with smaller breakout discussions.
  • Post-Event Integration: Use key takeaways to launch pilot projects or training modules.
  • Your team doesn’t just need inspiration, they need a framework for action. These speakers deliver both.

The Bottom Line: AI Literacy Is the New Corporate Currency
Forward-thinking companies are already investing in AI education, not just at the executive level, but across departments and functions. By bringing in trailblazers like Goodwin, Firth-Butterfield, and Schick, you’re not just planning a memorable event—you’re transforming your organization’s mindset.

If you want to future-proof your workforce, now is the time to upskill with AI.
