events
George appears at international summits, policy forums, executive programs, universities, and cultural institutions — often where AI is not just a technical topic, but a societal one. His events span keynotes, firesides, moderated conversations, and workshops, shaped for rooms that include decision-makers and builders, advocates and skeptics.
When there are no “upcoming” dates to announce, the page remains meaningful: it becomes a curated record of recent appearances and themes — a map of the conversations that matter, and the places where AI’s direction is being negotiated in public.
