Tech & Humanity Speakers

Calum Chace is a best-selling AI author and futurist whose books Surviving AI and The Economic Singularity have shaped how leaders think about automation, work, and society. A former business executive and journalist with an Oxford PPE background, he translates complex ideas—AGI, LLMs, and accelerating tech—into clear, practical narratives. His core message is balanced and actionable: AI can drive abundance, but only if organizations prepare thoughtfully with strategy, skills, and sensible governance. He co-founded the Economic Singularity Foundation, contributes to Stories from 2045, and advises boards on responsible AI adoption. On stage—at events like CogX and private leadership offsites—Calum mixes big-picture foresight with near-term playbooks: where AI creates value now, how to adapt jobs and education, and which policies reduce risk without stifling innovation. Audiences leave with context, vocabulary, and concrete next steps to build an AI-ready future.
