Bryce Goodman Speaking Topics

  • The Great Rewiring: Ethics in the Age of Thinking Machines

    This isn't another talk about AI ethics filled with hypothetical scenarios and distant threats. Instead, we'll explore how AI is forcing us to confront fundamental questions about intelligence, consciousness, and human value • right now. Through real-world examples from autonomous vehicles to hiring algorithms, we'll examine how AI is already challenging our ethical frameworks and why traditional approaches to technology ethics don't work anymore. Most importantly, we'll explore why the greatest risk isn't that AI will become too human-like, but that humans will become too AI-like in how we think about value, optimization, and decision-making.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Understand why current ethical frameworks fall short for AI governance
    • Learn how to identify and navigate real-world AI ethical dilemmas
    • Discover why ethics can't be an afterthought in AI development
    • Explore how to maintain human values in an age of algorithmic decision-making
    • Develop strategies for ethical AI implementation in your organization

  • More Than a Tool: Understanding the AI Revolution

    Most enterprise AI discussions focus on implementation, use cases, and ROI. This talk takes a different approach, revealing how AI represents not just new technology, but a fundamental shift in how organizations create value • similar to how electricity transformed manufacturing not through the technology itself, but by enabling entirely new ways of organizing work. Through historical parallels and contemporary case studies, we'll explore why most companies are approaching AI wrong and how to position your organization for the real transformation ahead.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Learn why traditional technology adoption models don't work for AI
    • Understand the five key paradigm shifts AI enables in enterprise
    • Discover how to identify high-value AI opportunities others miss
    • Master the principles of organizational rewiring for the AI age Develop strategies for leading paradigm-level change

  • The Intelligence Race: AI and the New Global Order

    This talk moves beyond typical discussions of AI superiority between nations to examine how AI is fundamentally reshaping global power dynamics, economic relationships, and the nature of conflict itself. Through analysis of real-world examples • from semiconductor politics to the weaponization of large language models • we'll explore how AI is creating new forms of geopolitical leverage and vulnerability. Most importantly, we'll examine why traditional frameworks for understanding international competition and cooperation need to be updated for an age where the primary battlefield is computational.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Understand the real drivers of AI geopolitical competition
    • Learn how AI is reshaping traditional power dynamics
    • Discover new frameworks for analyzing technological advantage
    • Explore scenarios for future AI-driven international conflict
    • Develop strategies for navigating the new global order

  • The Automation Paradox: Why AI Will Make Human Skills More Important Than Ever

    Everyone's asking how AI will replace jobs • but that's the wrong question. This talk explores the counterintuitive reality that AI's greatest impact won't be replacing human work, but fundamentally changing how we organize it. Through case studies and research, we'll examine why traditional organizational structures are becoming obsolete, how AI is enabling new forms of collaboration and creativity, and why the most successful companies will be those that use AI to augment human capabilities rather than replace them. Most importantly, we'll explore why soft skills like creativity, emotional intelligence, and ethical judgment become more, not less, crucial in an AI-powered organization.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Understand why traditional organizational models don't work in the AI age
    • Learn how AI transforms collaboration, creativity, and decision-making
    • Discover new frameworks for organizing human-AI teams
    • Master the principles of organizational design for the AI era
    • Identify which human skills become more valuable with AI
    • Develop strategies for building learning organizations that thrive with AI
