Dr Fola Yahaya: Quite Possibly the Best Introduction to AI

About

Artificial intelligence is transforming every part of our lives - but is it a threat, an opportunity, or both? We've been told AI will destroy and create jobs, supercharge and stifle creativity, serve us faithfully and deceive us cleverly. In this lively and sharply insightful talk, AI expert Fola Yahaya cuts through the hype to explain what Artificial Intelligence really is, how it works, and whats coming next.

Drawing on the clarity and humour in his work that reviewers have praised as the most accessible explanation of AI available today and a talk that replaces fear with understanding, Yahaya shows where AI genuinely excels, where it reliably fails, and how we can prepare for the seismic changes ahead. Expect helpful visuals, practical strategies, and a fiercely down-to-earth guide to thriving, not merely surviving, in an AI-driven world.

Early audiences have described Yahayas approach as transformative for anyone trying to stay ahead of technological change and a rare blend of expertise, wit and real-world insight.

Founder of Strategic Agenda, Fola Yahaya holds a PhD from the London School of Economics and has served as an economist for the United Nations and an e-strategist for Morgan Stanley. Now a leading communicator and expert in Artificial Intelligence, he specialises in making complex ideas clear, practical and engaging for everyone.
