Radhika Dirks

As generative Artificial Intelligence continues to develop at a breakneck pace, one question dominates the conversation: what does this mean for the future of humanity? Radhika Dirks, as one of Forbes’ 30 Women in AI, she gives us the answers we need today to prepare for an AI future.

In this talk, Radhika explores what she calls the “three waves of generative AI”: the explosion of creativity, the world of illusions, and the race to intimacy. We all saw the first wave as an abundance of AI-generated content flooded our social media feeds. It can illustrate your dreams, create the music you’d like to hear, and prototype 60 businesses in 40 minutes. But as we’ve seen in the second wave, it can also hallucinate and spread fake information. So, amidst this chaos, what should you be doing? “You want to transform,” Radhika says. “You want to ask yourself: how can you be an ethical leader? How can you tap into your gut? And how can you really triple down on your real human connections and human intelligence?” In a world where AI is the norm, emotional intelligence will shine. “Tuning into your emotions. Being able to tap into the emotions of others, understanding what they need,” Radhika says. “That is what is going to emerge as the panacea for this new wave.”

Radhika boldly tackles the emerging concerns and benefits of generative AI, offering practical methods and safeguards for using this technology. Her fascinating talk leaves you at the edge of your seat, bursting with innovative ideas and a new spark for AI.

Generative AI can transform your company into a more efficient, creative, and innovative version of itself. It can help you land “moonshots”: wildly ambitious projects fueled by the technology of the future. But the AI is advancing at a relentless, head-turning pace. Blink and you’ll miss another breakthrough. Where to start? How to keep up? What to do next? Radhika Dirks, a visionary AI expert who talks with bracing clarity, has the answers. She’s the CEO of the world’s first AI moonshot factory, and her unparalleled insights are in high demand during this once-in-a-generation moment.

Radhika has developed a Five Step Method to introduce generative AI—like ChatGPT and GPT-4—into any organization. (The trick? You have to do all five steps!) First up: “start playing with it right away.” By creating sandboxes of deeply intentional AI play, creativity will flourish as your teams get comfortable with its limits, its quirks, its boundless potential. The surprising, counterintuitive second step? “Don’t trust it.” Dig in and ask endless questions, take it to task. In her talk, you’ll learn so much more, such as the new world of “prompt engineering,” how to tackle ethical challenges, and the best way to think about it for your specific organizational needs.

Radhika’s thrilling talk will give you a peek into the frontier of this rapidly-developing world. With the right inside knowledge, you can make your most ambitious dreams a reality, and build an organization that thrives not just today, but well into the future.

Every industry is already being transformed by Artificial Intelligence and generative AI—including yours. What do leaders need to know in this environment of rapid change? How do you get ahead of the competition instead of being left behind? And how do you use technology for the good of humanity (and not the other way around)? As AI changes the tech infrastructure of the world, Radhika Dirks’s clear-eyed perspective is helping leaders across all industries answer these questions, strategize, and gain an edge for the future.

In customizable keynotes, Radhika draws on her wealth of experience in AI (from fintech to healthcare to data management) to show you and your organization how to navigate this new environment. She’s worked in tiny startups and massive corporations, which makes her uniquely positioned to offer tailored solutions for any organization. Incorporating AI isn’t one-size-fits-all, Radhika says. But with her experience, she can help your organization develop a plan and take advantage of the opportunities of today (and tomorrow).

AI has the potential to solve many of our problems. Can it also tackle climate change? Radhika Dirks, a visionary AI expert, has been a part of the conversation around AI since 2014. Passionate and nuanced, Radhika offers the crucial guidance we need to leverage AI for a better world.

In this talk, Radhika explores how AI can help us discover new technologies that marry innovation with environmental stewardship, boost biodiversity, reshape energy ecosystems, and help us live more environmentally conscious lifestyles. She issues a powerful call to action all while breaking down the nuanced reality that AI’s own environmental impacts. “AI is a dirty technology,” Radhika says. “The climate, planetary, and economic costs of operating these massive systems are immense and unsustainable.” But this, too, is something AI can help us solve.

This keynote is an invitation to witness how AI can revolutionize our approach to the planet’s health, prioritizing long-term solutions over short-term gain, and catalyzing a shift toward a more accountable and vibrant future.
