AI Keynote Speaker and Actionable Futurist Andrew Grill is an expert at explaining AI’s opportunities and threats. Artificial Intelligence has been around since the 1950s, but why is it suddenly being discussed from the classroom to the boardroom?

This AI Hub serves as a single source of AI-related information, including keynotes, workshops, and podcasts, to help you make sense of this new technology.

The recent rise of AI has been fuelled by the launch of Generative AI tools has removed the friction of explaining how AI works. It is now easy for you, your customers, and your executives to try out AI models without being a programmer or data scientist.

Watch a recent engagement with Neqsol Holding in Baku, Azerbaijan where Andrew delivered an AI Masterclass to 50 senior leaders, and 15 top executives.

Andrew’s AI keynotes are designed for senior leaders, boards, and executive teams who need clear, actionable guidance on AI without the jargon.

He regularly works with cross‑functional leadership groups in sectors such as finance, legal, technology, telco, FMCG, media, pharma, health and B2B, tailoring the content to their industry context and AI maturity

Andrew offers a 45–60 minute AI Executive Briefing keynote with an extended Q&A, ideal for conferences, town halls, and leadership offsites.

He also delivers half‑day and full‑day AI Masterclasses that combine keynote content, facilitated discussion and workshops to identify concrete AI use cases and next steps for your organisation

An AI Masterclass can include an overview of different types of AI, sector‑specific use cases, live reviews of current tools, and a deep dive into responsible and ethical AI.

You will work through data quality, opportunities for AI in your organisation, a facilitated session to identify proof‑of‑concept candidates, and leave with actionable next steps and curated AI resources

Andrew specialises in translating complex AI concepts into clear, practical language that resonates with non‑technical leaders.

He uses real‑world examples, live demonstrations and relatable metaphors to show how AI impacts strategy, risk, customers and teams, so leaders leave confident rather than overwhelmed

Before every engagement, Andrew invests time with you to understand your industry, current AI maturity, organisational challenges and event objectives.

He then tailors stories, examples, case studies and recommendations to your context so the session feels written for your organisation, not “off the shelf”.

Andrew brings a futurist lens to topics such as the future of Generative and Agentic AI, AI’s impact on jobs and skills, and the link between AI, data and sustainability.

He also explores critical thinking in the age of AI, governance and regulation, bias, and how leaders can safely experiment with tools like ChatGPT as the “always‑on intern”.

Yes. This page is part of the Actionable Futurist AI Hub, which brings together Andrew’s AI keynotes, workshops and a curated podcast series focused on AI and emerging tech.

Leaders can dive deeper through his Digitally Curious podcast episodes, AI readiness assessment and book, using them to extend the impact of the session long after the event

Every one of Andrew's engagements includes a personalised AI -readiness survey to understand how prepared your team is for AI and where the biggest gaps and opportunities lie.

Andrew can then analyse this in the meeting (using AI) to help drive the discussion.

Many clients combine the assessment with an Executive Briefing or Masterclass so that the keynote directly addresses their readiness level and priority use cases.
