Amplify Speakers / AI Keynote Speakers
AI Explained for Leaders
Most executive audiences do not need a technical deep dive into transformer architectures. They need a clear-eyed answer to a simpler question: what is AI actually capable of right now, and what does that mean for their business specifically. This category is for the speaker who can give a room that grounding without either overhyping or oversimplifying it.
This is foundational AI literacy delivered by someone with genuine technical depth, not a generalist futurist repeating headlines.

Why This Is Its Own Category
Jon Krohn holds a doctorate in neuroscience from Oxford, has spent over 15 years applying machine learning commercially across finance, healthcare, and pharma, and hosts the most-listened-to podcast in the data science industry. His "AI Explained" and "Generative AI" keynotes are built specifically to give non-technical executive audiences a real, working understanding of what AI is, how it differs from generative AI specifically, and what it can and cannot do, without the hype or the jargon. This is distinct from futurist content that speculates about AI's long-term trajectory; it's a grounded literacy session tailored to the audience's actual industry.
Ramy Nassar brings the same grounding from the builder's side. A former Head of Innovation at Mattel who still builds enterprise AI agents hands-on, he has worked with more than 250 organizations including Apple, Disney, TD Bank, and Verizon. His keynote "AI Now, Next, Never" gives leadership teams a clear way to sort what AI can do for them today, what is coming next, and which uses to walk away from entirely.
Ideal for: boards and executive teams that need a shared baseline understanding before making AI investment decisions, and any audience whose leadership has been talking about AI without a clear technical grounding.
