Ethan Mollick biography
Ethan Mollick is one of the world’s most influential voices on artificial intelligence and its impact on how we work, learn, and create. An associate professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, he has become a trusted guide for leaders trying to make sense of the AI moment, translating fast-moving research into practical, human-centered guidance.
AI speaker Ethan Mollick is best known for cutting through both the hype and the fear surrounding generative AI to focus on what actually works. As the Ralph J. Roberts Distinguished Faculty Scholar at Wharton, he studies the effects of AI on work, entrepreneurship, and education, and co-directs the university’s Generative AI Labs, where his teams build prototypes and conduct research on how these tools can augment human ability.
His bestselling book Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI was an instant New York Times bestseller and a Best Book of the Year selection from The Economist and the Financial Times, offering a definitive playbook for treating AI as a co-worker, co-teacher, and coach. His next book, Co-Existence: The Next Phase of AI, continues that work, arguing that the future will be defined not by machines replacing people but by humans and AI learning to think and work together.
A Trusted Guide to the AI Era
Mollick’s influence extends far beyond the classroom. He advises CEOs, boards, and government officials on AI adoption, and his work has been profiled by the Wall Street Journal as the expert counsel behind organizations from the White House to JPMorgan and Google. Through One Useful Thing, his widely read newsletter with more than 450,000 subscribers, he shares accessible, experiment-driven insights that reach a global audience daily. He has been named one of TIME’s Most Influential People in AI and an MBA Professor of the Year.
As a speaker, Ethan Mollick is known for keynotes that feel less like lectures and more like masterclasses, complete with live demonstrations that show executives what AI can do right now. Provocative and practical in equal measure, he helps senior audiences move past collective panic toward purposeful action, leaving them with concrete strategies for harnessing AI to boost productivity, creativity, and competitive advantage.

Ethan Mollick Keynote Topics
Generative AI has already reshaped how we work, learn, and live, and Ethan Mollick argues we are well past the point of fighting that current. In this dynamic, demonstration-rich keynote, he reframes the central question from whether to use AI to how we can embrace it thoughtfully and on purpose. Blending live demos with practical insight, he takes audiences on a tour of the real possibilities of this moment, leaving them energized rather than overwhelmed.
Drawing on the ideas in his bestselling book Co-Intelligence, Mollick offers a practical playbook for treating AI as a collaborator rather than a threat. He shows how individuals and teams can work with these tools as co-worker, co-teacher, and coach to think bigger and move faster. Audiences come away with concrete principles for partnering with AI in ways that amplify, rather than replace, human judgment and creativity.
Most organizations are experimenting with AI, but few have a strategy to match. Mollick helps leaders cut through the noise to understand where AI creates real value and how to build the culture, incentives, and guardrails to capture it. Grounded in his research at Wharton's Generative AI Labs and his work advising boards and executives, this keynote gives senior teams a clear-eyed framework for moving from scattered pilots to lasting competitive advantage.
As AI grows more capable, it is easy to assume human skill matters less. Mollick makes the opposite case: the people who benefit most from AI are those with deep expertise and good judgment. In this thought-provoking talk, he explores how leaders can reskill their teams, protect what makes us uniquely human, and design work so that people and machines each do what they do best.
