Welcome to the Actionable Futurist AI Hub
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.

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”.

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
How can we assess our organisation’s readiness for AI before booking?
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.
