Uh, let me see. I spent 30 years or so in high tech. Good head of hair when I first started, not so much now. Um, I spent a long time working at Intel when they were the company to be at because the leaders of the world, the technological breakthrough people of the world stood on our shoulders. Um, not so much these days, sadly. And then more recently, I worked for Google DeepMind. Um, at both companies, I got to be a futurist, so helping them to think about the world five, 10, 15 years from now and how they want to try and shape it. And I've been on the speaking circuit now for, I don't know, 10 years or so. Uh, I've done over 500 keynotes on five continents, and I help people understand AI and the consequences and the opportunities it presents for transforming business, education, and society more broadly.
