Speaking
Talks that make privacy land.
John speaks on AI governance, privacy, and the surveillance economy with the credibility of someone who has built the technology, published the research, and paid the price of the principle.
Signature Talks
The $13.8 Million Question
What happens when your company's biggest payday requires betraying your users? How to build organizations where that choice never has to be made. Ethics, incentives, and the real cost of data.
The Surveillance Capital Lifecycle
Infrastructure begets hardware, hardware begets inference, inference becomes the product. What a 900,000 sq ft data center approved in a ten-minute meeting tells us about who's watching and who gets a say.
The Innovation Is the Brakes
Car brakes are innovation, too! Why safety and explainability aren't constraints on AI progress; they're what makes progress possible. For teams building AI that must be trusted.
Has AI Killed Privacy?
Privacy is our single most precious commodity and it's going like hotcakes. What inference at scale means for consent, and what individuals and organizations can actually still do about it.
