What the work actually looks like
An honest account of building AI systems in industry, including the parts that are unglamorous and the parts nobody puts in a course description.
Speaking topic
An AI speaker for a university, faculty event or student conference
For a room deciding what to do with their careers, from somebody who started in this field young enough to remember what it felt like to not know where to begin.
The room
Student conferences, faculty and departmental events, orientation and careers weeks, hackathon opening and closing sessions.
Every booking starts the same way: tell him who is in the room and what you want them doing afterwards. The enquiry form asks for exactly that and nothing else.

What it covers
The beats of the talk
Shaped to your audience rather than delivered off the shelf, so treat these as the argument rather than as a running order.
Getting in without a conventional route
He took an unusual path. He talks about it as one route among several rather than as a template, which is the more useful version for a room of students.
What to learn when the tools keep changing
The parts worth investing in when the specific frameworks have a short half-life.
Open Q&A
Usually the half the students remember. Budget real time for it.
Why him
He has run university sessions and speaks regularly to student audiences, and is 22 himself, which is closer to the room than most people on this circuit.

Watch him make this argument
Every one is public, plays here, and carries its year. This is an archive, not a schedule.
Questions
What organisers ask about this one
Fees are agreed per event and are not published. Tell us the institution and the budget in the enquiry and you will get a straight answer rather than a negotiation.
Yes. A talk plus a smaller hands-on session is a common shape for a university booking and makes better use of the travel.
