Speaking
Talks on AI, discernment, and the future of work.
I speak to leaders, founders, institutions, and communities about what it takes to build AI capability without losing judgment, taste, identity, or human authority.
AS SEEN IN MY TED TALK - TEDX GREENWOOD | " THE MISSING SKILL IN THE AGE OF AI IS DISCERNMENT"
Universities, newsrooms, conferences, and leadership communities across tech, education, and the future of work.
Why these talks
The most important question about AI is not just what it can do. It is what kind of people, teams, and organizations we become while using it. Jeneba's talks help audiences move past hype and into clearer thinking, better judgment, and more practical action.
Her speaking is designed for audiences navigating real decisions: how to build AI capability and fluency, how to operationalize the right use cases, how to design for human authority, and how to stay fully human in a world of accelerating systems.
Signature talks
Five talks, one through-line: human authority in an AI era.
Self-Possession in the Age of AI
A keynote on identity, discernment, and the future of human agency in an AI-shaped world. This talk explores why the next era will not be led by the people who adopted AI fastest, but by the people who stayed most themselves while learning how to use it well.
Best for: Leadership audiences, innovation summits, education, future-of-work conferences, mission-driven organizations
Format: Keynote, fireside conversation
From Prompt to Production
A practical talk on how to move from scattered AI experiments to systems people can actually build, trust, and use. Jeneba shows how real workflows, human judgment, and operational design matter just as much as the tools themselves.
Best for: Founders, innovation teams, operator-led organizations, product and strategy audiences
Format: Keynote, workshop, breakout session
Think Before Your Agent Acts
A talk on designing human authority into agentic workflows. Instead of treating agents as only a technical problem, this session reframes them as a workflow, governance, and judgment design challenge.
Best for: AI strategy events, technical leadership audiences, transformation teams, responsible AI conversations
Format: Keynote, breakout, executive session
Agency and the Future of Work
A keynote on what makes AI increase human agency instead of reduce it. This talk draws on Jeneba's research and frameworks to help audiences think more clearly about capability, adaptation, fluency, and the design of work in an AI era.
Best for: Workforce development, higher education, HR, talent, L&D, organizational transformation
Format: Keynote, workshop, panel
