AI keynote speaker Matthew Griffin
Matthew Griffin is an AI keynote speaker and futurist who explains where artificial intelligence is heading and what it means for your organisation. His AI keynotes cover generative and agentic AI, the road to AGI, AI risk and control, and how leaders turn AI from pilots into real results. He speaks in person and virtually, worldwide.
Most organisations are still treating AI as a digital project. Matthew shows audiences why it is becoming an intelligence transformation instead, one where software increasingly reasons, decides and acts on its own, and why that changes how companies compete, organise and lead.
He has tracked AI daily since founding the 311 Institute in 2016, and his AI keynotes draw on that research and on his work with leadership teams across technology, financial services, insurance, retail and government.
