Surviving AIIn this keynote, Calum Chace explains what artificial intelligence really is—and what it is not. He outlines the current state of AI, how fast it is progressing, and why this moment matters. Audiences gain a clear understanding of both the opportunities and the risks, without hype or fear, and leave better prepared to make informed choices in a rapidly changing landscape.
The Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence
This session explores the deeper questions behind intelligent machines. Calum examines consciousness, decision-making, and ethics, asking what responsibility looks like when algorithms influence real human outcomes. Using accessible examples, he challenges audiences to think critically about trust, control, and accountability in an increasingly automated world.
The Economic Singularity: A Jobless Future?
AI is changing how work is created, distributed, and valued. In this keynote, Calum addresses automation, productivity, and the long-term future of employment. He separates myth from reality, explains why traditional assumptions about jobs may no longer hold, and invites leaders to rethink how societies and organisations measure contribution, purpose, and progress.
Artificial Intelligence and the Two Singularities
This talk places today’s AI developments in a broader historical and human context. Calum explains the idea of two major tipping points: one economic, driven by automation, and one technological, driven by increasingly capable machines. He explores why the coming decades may be uniquely important for humanity—and why the decisions made now will have lasting consequences.
