Why now
Why your audience needs this now
AI changes every month. Audiences need more than theory — they need practical insight from someone who is actually building it. Sam runs AI companies, builds deterministic AI for regulated industries and has spent more than two decades turning research into businesses. He brings that real-world experience, and a firm belief that AI should amplify human judgment rather than replace it, to every stage.
