Generative AI and ChatGPT Speakers

ChatGPT and the hundreds of other generative AI tools are already changing the way we think about work, the economy, investments, education, and society at large. It promises to be more disruptive than the internet itself, in only a fraction of the time. Imagine the last twenty years of technological change crammed into two years … or even less. At Lavin, we have been exploring the potential of AI for years and we are proud to share the insights of our leading ChatGPT keynote speakers.

How to Choose the Best ChatGPT Speaker for Your Event

Choosing the right ChatGPT keynote speaker means finding someone who can balance technical expertise with real-world relevance. Here are key considerations:

Match Technical Depth to Audience
Executives and boards need strategic insights and clear language; data science teams may require more technical detail. The best speakers adapt their content to meet your audience where they are.

Look for Implementation Experience
Some speakers excel at explaining the big picture of AI disruption, while others can guide you through pilot projects, prompt development, and workflows. Choose based on whether your audience is exploring or actively deploying generative AI.

Prioritize Sector Relevance
The applications of ChatGPT look very different in finance, healthcare, education, and media. Select speakers who understand the unique challenges and opportunities in your industry.

Assess a Balanced Perspective
Strong ChatGPT speakers can articulate both the upside potential and the real risks of these tools. Avoid speakers who lean too heavily on hype or fear.

Review Recent Content
ChatGPT evolves monthly. Make sure your speaker’s examples, use cases, and recommendations reflect the latest developments.

Look for Actionable Frameworks
The most valuable speakers give audiences concrete frameworks and tools, not just fascinating demos.

Ask About Customization
Generic presentations on AI quickly feel dated. The best ChatGPT speakers tailor their insights to your specific goals, challenges, and experience level.

From Inspiration to Action: How Generative AI Keynotes Drive Results

The top ChatGPT speakers create impact that lasts long after the event. Their insights help teams make better decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and see the big picture of generative AI adoption.

At a recent ATB Financial event, Lavin AI speaker Ajay Agrawal helped the audience reframe how they think about AI and the implications to their business. The organizer raved that “his session was thought-provoking and had a lasting impact: rarely does a speaker get referenced for a couple weeks after a presentation, let alone actively come up in conversations as people talk about how to navigate their business in the coming years.”

At World Bank, AI speaker Radhika Dirks offered a keynote that attendees described as “absolutely amazing.” The organizer said that by the next day, attendees were applying her AI framework to everything. “Many great things are going to come out of this for us,” they said.
