Keynote (45–60 minutes), Technical Deep Dive, or Workshop on AI Ethics and Privacy
AI researchers, policymakers, technologists, data scientists, and organizations focused on ethical AI and data privacy
Building safe artificial intelligence.
Andrew details the most important new techniques in secure, privacy-preserving, and multi-owner governed artificial intelligence. Andrew begins with a sober, up-to-date view of the current state of AI safety, user privacy, and AI governance before introducing some of the fundamental tools of technical AI safety: homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, federated learning, and differential privacy.
He concludes with an exciting demo from the OpenMined open source project that illustrates how to train a deep neural network while both the training data and the model are in a safe, encrypted state during the entire process.
Andrew touches on ideas such as Differential Privacy, and Secure Multi-Party Computation, and how these ideas come into play.
Many industries are limited by regulations of private data, and in response to the need for greater privacy in AI three cutting edge techniques have been developed that have huge potential for the future of machine learning in healthcare: federated learning; differential privacy; encrypted computation. These modern privacy techniques would allow us to train our models on encrypted data from multiple sources without sharing the data.

“In the 1960s, the U.S. government stepped in to create the ARPANET, democratizing access to the largest supercomputers in the country, because only a limited set of researchers had access to them. Now, the U.S. government steps in to create the NAIRR, democratizing access to the largest AI resources in the country, including the largest AI supercomputers, because only a limited set of researchers have access to them. And upon the promise of the NAIRR, the future of AI will be democratic, American innovation will flourish, and we’re honored to be a part of it.” — Andrew Trask, Executive Director of OpenMined.

In this 16-minute presentation, Andrew Trask explains how privacy-preserving AI allows collaboration across industries without sacrificing data security—advancing a future where innovation and privacy coexist.
In Privacy-Preserving AI, Andrew Trask—Founder of OpenMined and Senior Research Scientist at DeepMind—breaks down one of the most pressing challenges in artificial intelligence: how to enable data-driven innovation while protecting individual privacy. Speaking with clarity and enthusiasm, he introduces the principles and tools of privacy-preserving machine learning, including federated learning, differential privacy, and encrypted computation.
Andrew begins by framing the problem: data fuels AI progress, but traditional approaches require centralizing vast amounts of personal and sensitive information. This model, he argues, is unsustainable in a world increasingly aware of privacy risks and regulatory constraints. The solution? Train AI models without moving or exposing the data.
Using clear analogies and visual examples, Andrew shows how OpenMined’s open-source technologies allow organizations—from hospitals to financial institutions—to collaborate securely by sharing insights, not raw data. He highlights real-world use cases where these tools have enabled progress in healthcare research, fraud detection, and humanitarian work.
Throughout the talk, he underscores that privacy and innovation are not opposing forces but complementary. By decentralizing AI development and democratizing access to secure computing tools, society can unlock unprecedented progress while preserving trust.
Andrew closes by inviting technologists, policymakers, and educators to join the OpenMined movement, emphasizing that the future of AI must be both ethical and inclusive—powered by collaboration, transparency, and respect for individual rights.
In this 41-minute talk, Andrew Trask dives deep into the technology, philosophy, and global impact of privacy-preserving AI—showing how open collaboration can make artificial intelligence more ethical, secure, and democratic.
In this full-length OpenMined Talk, Andrew Trask—Founder and Leader of OpenMined and Senior Research Scientist at DeepMind—offers a comprehensive exploration of how privacy-preserving AI can redefine global data collaboration. Speaking with contagious enthusiasm and technical clarity, he describes the technologies that allow machine learning to thrive without centralizing or exposing sensitive data.
Andrew begins by outlining the core motivation behind OpenMined: democratizing access to secure AI tools. He explains how federated learning, differential privacy, and encrypted computation can enable organizations to learn from data distributed across the world—while keeping that data safe in its original locations. His examples include healthcare networks discovering new treatments, financial institutions detecting fraud collaboratively, and governments improving public services without risking citizens’ privacy.
He then shifts to the ethical and societal implications. Andrew discusses the need for trustworthy AI ecosystems, where privacy isn’t an afterthought but a prerequisite for innovation. He makes the case that privacy-preserving AI doesn’t just protect individuals—it enables collaboration at scale, bridging competitive and regulatory divides between organizations.
Midway through, Andrew shares OpenMined’s community-driven progress: more than 12,000 contributors globally building open-source frameworks that make privacy-preserving machine learning accessible to everyone. He highlights partnerships with universities, nonprofits, and international organizations working to deploy these tools for social good.
The session closes with a forward-looking perspective: as AI reshapes every sector, privacy will determine who participates in that future. By making privacy technology open, usable, and universal, Trask envisions a world where innovation and ethics advance together.
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
