Ari's AI keynotes are built for the moments when your organization is rolling out new technology and the excitement in the C-suite isn't matching the anxiety on the ground floor. As a future of work speaker, these sessions are a fit for company-wide town halls where leadership needs to address AI fears head-on, annual conferences where attendees are navigating AI disruption across their industries, leadership retreats where executives need to align on how to lead teams through AI-driven change, and HR or Learning & Development events focused on helping employees adapt to the new AI reality without burning out.
Ari has delivered keynotes on change and transformation for Fortune 500 organizations including Dell, Lockheed Martin, Estée Lauder, and government agencies like the NIH and US Courts.

With more than a decade of experience navigating technology shifts across industries, Ari connects with audiences because he understands that the hardest part of AI adoption isn't the software, it's the people. Whether your team is 12 leaders in a boardroom, 100 employees at a team offsite, or 3,000 people at an industry-wide conference, Ari meets them where they are and gives them a framework to move forward with confidence so they can break through.

FAQs as an AI Speaker
Ari's journey with technology started over 3 decades ago, when he was a small child and his father brought home a brand new computer with a Pentium processor. From that moment on, technology became a through line in Ari's life, across industries, roles and businesses. This lifelong tech experience has kept Ari on the cutting edge of technology, combined with deep expertise in how people respond to change and disruption. His approach as an AI speaker is not as a technologist selling the future, but as a breakthrough expert who understands why teams struggle with rapid transformation, and how to move through it.
No, most of what Ari talks about in the realm of artificial intelligence is a keynote experience, meant for th emain stage. While Ari does have some more practical sessions, delivered as workshops or breakouts, the goal of Ari's talks is not to teach teams how to use AI tools, it is to help them navigate the human challenges that come with AI transformation. The fear, the uncertainty, the resistance to change. That's where most AI rollouts break down, and that's exactly what Ari addresses.
It's designed for them. Ari's message resonates most with people who aren't AI experts; the managers, team leads, and employees who are being asked to change how they work without necessarily understanding why. No jargon, no delving deep into the technical aspects of AI, just Ari showing your group how to best view AI and when applicable, a framework for moving through disruption with confidence.
That's actually exactly who future of work speeches like this are for. Most teams aren't necessarily resisting AI, they are simply drowning in the pace of change. Ari's keynotes on artificial intelligence gives them a framework to process the disruption, regain confidence, and engage with AI from a position of strength instead of survival mode.
Every speaking engagement that Ari does is specifically tailored to the audience and to their needs. Ari works with your leadership team before the event to understand more about your AI situation: what tools you're implementing, where the friction is showing up, and what outcomes you're looking for. This way the speech and the stories land in your context, instead of being abstract. Additionally, Ari usually conducts a few interviews with people who will be at your event, to gain greater insight on what will resonate the best with the group.
AI consultants focus on the technology. Futurists focus on what's coming, based on their next best guess. Ari focuses on what your people are going through right now, and his experience with similar feelings: the anxiety, the identity shifts, the pressure to adapt. His keynote complements technical AI training by addressing the mindset layer that determines whether your team actually embraces the tools or quietly resists them.
Yes. Ari's core expertise is helping people break through challenge and change to experience the growth that comes along with that adversity. He then applies that lens of growth to leadership, sales performance, and AI transformation. A great option for clients is to book Ari for an AI keynote and add a leadership breakout session to deepen the impact.

Ari works with audiences of all sizes, adapting his presentation style based on the size of the group and the layout of the room. This means Ari can talk to every group, from intimate executive sessions of 20 to company-wide events of hundreds or thousands. The message scales both due to Ari's experience in working with different group sizes and because the human experience of AI disruption is universal. Whether you're a frontline employee or a C-suite leader, the uncertainty feels the same.
Absolutely. Ari's keynote is often paired with internal AI training programs, change management rollouts, or leadership development initiatives. He works with your team ahead of time to align his message with your broader transformation goals so the keynote reinforces what you're already building.
People in your group may report a new outlook on artificial intelligence, or realize that it is not as scary as it initially seemed. Once they are able to hear the beauty and the power of AI from a non-technical person, without jargon, audience members realize that AI is a neat tool that can help them get more efficient and productive. And with Ari's disarming smile and excitement for the technology, while nevertheless having some skepticism, all types of audience members may feel more heard and listened to, and therefore be more open to trying new things like AI.
Every event is different, and for specific takeaways please refer to your discussion document for your event (request one if you don't have one). Attendees may walk away with a new framework for navigating rapid change such as the reCODE model, plus a shift in how they think about AI disruption. Instead of seeing it as a threat to survive, they leave seeing it as a challenge to break through and grow from. That mindset shift is what makes the difference between teams that stall and teams that accelerate.
Ari addresses the fears around job loss and artificial intelligence directly. Job security fear is one of the biggest barriers to successful AI adoption, and pretending it doesn't exist only makes it worse. Ari acknowledges the fear honestly and helps teams reframe their relationship with AI, taking them from replacement threat to breakthrough opportunity. He gives people a framework for staying valuable and relevant through the shift.
You will want to book your speaker as early as possible to make sure you get your first choice, especially if your AI rollout has a specific timeline. Working with Ari, you are booking the date and time more so than the specific speech, so you can always adjust the speech Ari delivers closer to your actual event date. That said, Ari accommodates events on timelines from a need for an urgent last minute speaker to 1-2 years out, all depending on availability. The earlier you reach out, the more time there is to align the session with your transformation goals and fully customize it.
The answer all depends on Ari's availability. While there are dates that are open and available, the closer it gets to your preferred event date, the harder it is to guarantee your slot. That being said, you should check Ari's availability to see if he can help accommodate your urgent need for a last minute speaker. Even if he is not able to help, he may have people in his network who are available to fill your urgent opening for a speaker right before your event.
