Ethan Mollick biography
Dr. Ethan Mollick is one of the world’s most influential and genuinely useful voices on artificial intelligence, the Wharton professor who has become the go-to guide for how people can actually put AI to work. While much of the world oscillates between hype and panic, Mollick offers something rarer: clear-eyed, evidence-based, immediately practical guidance on living and working with AI, grounded in rigorous research and relentless hands-on experimentation.
AI speaker Ethan Mollick is an Associate Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he is the Ralph J. Roberts Distinguished Faculty Scholar and Co-Director of the Generative AI Labs. He studies the effects of AI on work, entrepreneurship, and education, and translates what he learns for an enormous public audience through his newsletter One Useful Thing, one of the most widely read AI publications in the world. Named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in AI, he is known for cutting through abstraction with live demonstrations and concrete, tested advice that leaders and educators can use the same day.
Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI
Mollick reached a global readership with his book Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI, an instant New York Times bestseller and a best book of the year from The Economist and the Financial Times. In it, and on stage, he argues that AI is best understood not as a replacement for people but as a kind of co-worker, a “co-intelligence” that, used well, can amplify human capability. His widely cited research, including a landmark field experiment showing how AI reshapes knowledge work and studies on its effects in the classroom, has made him one of the most trusted interpreters of what the technology can and cannot do. Before academia he co-founded a technology startup, and he earned his PhD and MBA at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and his bachelor’s degree at Harvard.
As a speaker, Ethan Mollick makes AI feel less overwhelming and more full of opportunity, blending sharp research with humor, live demos, and an infectious spirit of curiosity. He speaks on how generative AI is transforming work and productivity, practical strategies for adopting AI across an organization, the future of education in an AI world, and how leaders can navigate disruption while keeping humans at the center. Audiences leave not with fear or vague futurism, but with a concrete understanding of AI and specific actions they can take immediately.

Ethan Mollick Keynote Topics
Drawing on his bestselling book, Mollick reframes AI not as a threat to be feared or a magic fix, but as a "co-intelligence" that can dramatically amplify human capability when used well. He shows audiences how to actually work alongside AI, sharing simple, tested principles for getting the most from these tools, and leaves leaders with a clear, practical mental model for the most important technology of our era.
Mollick reveals what his and others' research shows about AI's real impact on knowledge work, including striking evidence that it can boost performance and level the playing field between employees. He helps leaders understand where AI creates genuine advantage, how to adopt it across teams, and how to rethink workflows and strategy to capture its benefits rather than merely bolting it on.
As AI upends how students learn and how educators teach, Mollick, whose work sits at the frontier of AI in education, offers a grounded, optimistic path forward. He explores what changes when AI can write, tutor, and explain, how schools and universities should respond, and how AI can be harnessed to improve learning rather than undermine it, essential for any education or training-focused organization.
AI is advancing faster than most organizations can absorb. Mollick helps leaders cut through the noise to focus on what matters: how to experiment responsibly, build an AI-ready culture, and adapt continuously as the technology evolves. He shows how to embrace AI's opportunities while keeping human judgment, creativity, and purpose firmly at the center of the organization.
