Since October 2023, I have delivered 60+ speaking engagements,
podcast appearances, and media features across 4 continents and
10+ countries, representing Google DeepMind and Gemini at the
world’s most prestigious institutions, governments, and
conferences.
Since 2026, I am also a Senior Research Fellow at the
Oxford Institute for Ethics in AI,
working with Philipp Koralus and Edward Harcourt on whether LLMs are
capable of goal-directed, truth-seeking collaborative inquiry.
Co-creator (with Peter Norvig) of
Little PAIPer, and a listed contributor on
the foundational Gemini technical paper.

Thought Leadership Arc
2023: Developer Evangelism — Bard & Prompt Engineering
The program began organically with grassroots developer community
talks at Google Developer Group DevFests in Silicon Valley and Santa
Clara, demonstrating Bard’s prompt engineering capabilities to
hundreds of developers.
2024: Gemini Goes Global — Function-Calling, Agents, Responsible AI
Rapid expansion into enterprise (KeyBank, Canon USA), government (UN
General Assembly, House of Lords, House of Commons), elite academia
(MIT), and major media (Forbes). Topics evolved to Gemini
function-calling, multi-agent systems, synthetic data, and responsible
AI. International reach expanded to Berlin, Sao Paulo, and New York.
2025–2026: “The Digital Dialectic” — A Distinct Thought Leadership Brand
I developed “Dialectical Intelligence” and “The Digital
Dialectic” as a distinctive intellectual framework for understanding
AI and human competence — now presented at the world’s most
prestigious venues: Davos, TEDx Boston, Princeton, Harvard, Oxford
(three colleges/institutes), Cambridge, Eton, and the University of
Sussex (as the inaugural Margaret Boden Lecturer).
