Co-Founder, University of Georgia Institute for Artificial Intelligence
Author of numerous books

I have knowledge, not just opinions.

I am available to speak to community and business groups.

Popular topics (not the only ones possible):

  • What is artificial intelligence and how does it affect your business?
  • A quick tour of computer and AI ethics
  • Write, think, learn: how to sharpen your intelligence (popular)
  • The AI paradigm shift — it's not 2023 any more!
  • What goes on inside an LLM (chatbot), and can it actually think?
  • What is there to AI besides LLMs?
  • Open-ended question-and-answer sessions

Places I've recently spoken:

  • National Merit Scholarship Corporation alumni conference
  • The University of Georgia (Terry College of Business)
  • Presbyterian Village (retirement community)
  • Alps Road Presbyterian Church

I am most easily available in the Athens-Atlanta-Greenville area and by video; travel can be arranged. My talks are tailored to the audience, from high school to graduate school; are up-to-date with the latest information; and include PowerPoint unless you request otherwise. I take a balanced approach, cautious but optimistic about new technology, not promoting a specific product or approach.

To explore possibilities, contact me at the e-mail address above.
