Your audience is living in a world where algorithms decide their worth.

Are you going to tell them the comfortable lie or the liberating truth?

I don't deliver feel-good keynotes about innovation. I deliver wake-up calls about the AI systems that are quietly limiting human potential while executives applaud "technological progress."

Here's what your audience faces right now:

America's AI Action Plan promises workforce transformation, but Microsoft just mandated AI use for workers while putting "the onus on employees to learn AI tools" instead of providing training.
Translation: you're responsible for mastering the technology that might replace you.

Only 39% of workers using AI globally have received company training. Only 25% of companies plan AI training this year. Meanwhile, Microsoft ties AI performance to reviews while 45% of executives refuse to invest in AI tools for their teams.

The brutal math: Companies demand AI mastery but won't teach it. They profit from AI efficiency while workers scramble to stay relevant.

When I take your stage, your audience won't just feel inspired, empowered and equipped to use AI intentionally, strategically and understand what's at stake with each click.
Yvette Schmitter Speaking at New York Tech Week 2025

THE SPEAKER WHO CHANGES EVERYTHING

Your attendees are drowning in AI hype while being force-fed systems that systematically exclude them. They need more than motivation. They need revelation.

I'm the speaker who makes your audience realize:

  • The hiring AI that "improves efficiency" screens out their best talent based on zip codes and names.

 

  • The customer service bot that "enhances experience" only understands privileged voices.

 

  • The loan algorithm that "reduces bias" digitizes decades of discrimination at scale.

 

  • The medical AI that "improves diagnoses" misses life-threatening conditions in women and underrepresented groups.

 

  • The education AI that "personalizes learning" steers underrepresented kids away from STEM careers.

Most speakers tell your audience what's possible. I show them what's probable if we don't act now, what they can do TODAY, and what's possible when we do.
