Cassie Kozyrkov Speaking Topics
Built for senior leaders, this keynote looks at what changes when AI stops only answering questions and starts carrying out tasks. Kozyrkov explains where human judgment matters more than ever, how accountability shifts when systems act on our behalf, and what leaders must decide before delegating work to AI. Executives leave with a clear framework for setting direction, managing risk, and keeping people in charge of the outcomes that count.
Designed for mixed audiences, this session replaces hype and anxiety with practical confidence. Kozyrkov shows why so many AI efforts stall, how to pick the problems worth solving, and how individuals and teams can use AI as a tool that serves their goals rather than a trend they react to. Attendees leave knowing where to start and how to measure whether AI is actually helping.
In this interactive masterclass, Kozyrkov teaches participants how to turn AI into a decision-making partner. Drawing on Decision Intelligence, she shows how to use AI to pressure-test thinking, surface blind spots, and frame choices so the data answers the right question. Available as a workshop or executive session, and can be blended with either keynote track.

Instead of starting with data or technology, it starts with the decision itself: what is being decided, who decides, what would change the choice, and how to judge the outcome. The approach is especially useful for AI projects, which often fail because they solve the wrong problem.
