Educating audiences
about the latest advances
in artificial intelligence
I am very fortunate to take the occasional break from architecting machine learning platforms in order to teach executives about the latest and greatest developments in artificial intelligence. I cover a variety of topics and try to incorporate a good mix of: (1) where is the technology now?; (2) where is the technology heading?; (3) how can you prepare your organization for this change?; and (4) what are the ethical implications?

From Sci-Fi to Strategy: Navigating the AI Explosion
Artificial intelligence has leapt from the pages of science fiction into everyday reality—cars drive themselves, software writes and reasons, and machines are learning to see, hear, and act in ways once thought impossible. Through jaw-dropping examples and live demonstrations, Dr. Michael Housman reveals the “art of the possible” with today’s foundational AI models. But while the technology is advancing at an exponential pace, human adoption is moving much more slowly, creating a widening gap that poses both risks and opportunities for organizations. To close that gap, Michael offers a roadmap for future-proofing—showing how businesses can adapt incrementally and transformationally to harness AI and thrive in this new era.
" PepsiCo organized an executive leadership meeting in Athens and we brought in Singularity University to help us think exponentially and expose us to disruptive technologies. We decided to add AI-ccelerator (vis a vis Dr. Michael Housman) to the retreat because of the rapid growth and adoption of generative AI models like ChatGPT and he did not disappoint! He provided us with an overview of how they work, where the ecosystem is headed, and potential implications for our business. Everyone walked away with a much deeper understanding of how generative AI is going to transform our business and how we can harness those tools to shape the future instead of letting it happen! "

AI and the Next Frontier: Mastering Advanced AI for Real-World Impact
Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept — it’s here, transforming industries and reshaping the way we work. In our previous sessions, we explored why AI is exploding now and how businesses can position themselves to capitalize on it. This follow-up session delves deeper into the critical mindset shifts and strategic approaches required to move beyond experimentation and drive real adoption. Dr. Michael Housman will uncover the latest advancements — including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multi-modal AI, and agentic AI — while addressing practical challenges such as measuring ROI, overcoming barriers to adoption, and fostering an AI-first culture. Through real-world case studies and actionable insights, this talk will equip leaders with the tools to harness AI’s full potential and create lasting business impact.
" With the sudden emergence of ChatGPT late last year, we found that our partners and investors were asking us questions about what to do with the new technology. We brought in AI-ccelerator to explain how generative artificial intelligence worked and how they could leverage it within their businesses. Dr. Michael Housman did an incredible job unpacking the dense subject matter, offering up live demos, and making it accessible to a lay audience while also giving them a framework for solving problems they encounter. All of the audience members were raving about his talk afterwards and I cannot recommend him more highly as a subject matter expert and a speaker! "

Whether you're in marketing, sales, or innovation, this workshop offers a first-hand look at the future of content creation.
" At the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in November 2023, Dr. Michael Housman captivated our entrepreneurs with his expertise in generative artificial intelligence, illustrating its role as a pivotal force in digital innovation. He adeptly merged theory with practice, offering a framework for leveraging AI tools that resonated strongly with our audience. A highlight was the interactive workshop where, under Dr. Housman's guidance, we co-created a product pitch using generative AI, demonstrating its practical power and potential. His engaging approach not only enlightened but also inspired, making it clear why he's a highly recommended authority in the AI space. "

" I am sincerely grateful for the fantastic presentation Dr. Michael Housman delivered at our ILLT offsite. His insights into the world of AI were truly eye-opening - I think everyone in the room was completely blown away, and potentially slightly terrified too!! His passion and ability to communicate the concepts in such a clear and accessible manner really were inspiring, and despite the fact he was only with us virtually, the audience were captivated. It was a really solid foundation for the work we did in the afternoon on identifying further areas of our business that could benefit from the application of AI technology. "
