JEFF ON THE RECORD:
Hey, I’m
Jeff Wilser.
From AI to crypto to exploration, I have a habit of getting curious about what’s next.
I’m wired for question-asking, and my career as an author and journalist has taken me to unexpected places. Whether it was talking to Sam Altman about AI futurism, U.S. Senators about tech legislation, or astronauts on what it will take to reach Mars, I love getting a pulse on who’s doing what, why they’re doing it, and what it means for the rest of us.
My work has appeared in The New York Times, New York Magazine, GQ, Esquire, Fast Company, TIME, and CoinDesk. On my podcast, AI-Curious, I tap the minds of top tech leaders to discuss the good, the bad, and the creepy of artificial intelligence. And because I’m a glutton for punishment, I have a second AI podcast, The People’s AI, which dives deeper into the (even wilder) world of decentralized AI.
On the keynote stage, I decode the digital frontier and help teams think clearly about their future in tech. With curiosity leading the way, corporate audiences discover the uniquely human advantages that make it possible to thrive with any technology, artificial or otherwise.
— Jeff’s Auto Pen
Today it’s artificial intelligence.
Tomorrow it’s who knows what.
Curiosity keeps us ready for anything.
The online chatter (and barstool debates) about AI is everywhere, and it’s a passionate mix of utopian dreams and apocalyptic fears. In business, top leaders are finding themselves caught in the same murky waters as the rest of the world. Odds are, if you’re reading this, AI has been on the meeting agenda one too many times this year. The good news is you don’t need a fixed stance on the “right” way to use AI.
What matters most is curiosity, a uniquely human edge no AI agent can ever replace.
The Main Stage of What’s Next
As a professional speaker, Jeff leads keynotes and workshops that make AI clear, human, and actionable.
01
AI Leadership
Leading when no one has the map means embracing uncertainty as strategy. Jeff helps leaders navigate AI’s shifting terrain with practical frameworks for making bold, human-centered decisions. Audiences leave knowing how to guide teams through change with curiosity and conviction.
02
AI Strategy
Connecting ambition to action is the hardest part of AI transformation. Jeff helps teams align experiments with outcomes, prioritize what matters, and build strategies that evolve as fast as the technology does anchored always in the human story behind the change.
03
AI Culture
Making AI a team sport starts with how people think, not what tools they use. Jeff shows organizations how to create cultures of exploration where curiosity and creativity outpace fear, and where teams feel empowered to test, learn, and innovate together.
04
AI How To
Turning “we should” into “we did” is what separates inspiration from impact. Jeff breaks down complex AI tools into clear, actionable ideas leaders can apply the next day—no jargon, no fluff, just practical ways to make progress.
What They're Saying
Liz Curtis
CEO, Fulcrum Group
"Jeff Wilser delivered the most impactful presentation our Vistage group has experienced in my three‑year membership. In a single session, Jeff transformed ChatGPT from a novelty into an indispensable executive tool —showing us, in real time, how to turn the model into a devil’s advocate, role‑play actor, scenario simulator, blind‑spot detector, debrief partner, and more.
Jeff’s hallmark is his hands‑on approach: he asked each of us to feed industry‑specific prompts into ChatGPT and then dissected the results, proving AI’s value as a thought partner.
The frameworks, prompt formulas, and guardrails that Jeff shared were so immediately usable that I’ve already rolled them out across every department of my company, from Sales and Marketing to Operations and Software R&D.
If you want a speaker who couples cutting‑edge insight with practical, ready‑to‑implement tools, and who can keep a room of CEOs fully engaged - Jeff Wilser is the benchmark."

Stephanie Sindt
Career Counselor and Executive Coach
"It’s clear that Jeff is a true expert in the AI space, and he’s seen how it has grown and evolved first hand. His AI workshop was incredibly helpful, whether you already use AI in your day-to-day work or are just starting to explore it. I know it was a great workshop because I’ve found myself continuing to think about it long after attending. I’d easily recommend it to the executives I work with who want to expand their AI knowledge and skills, or who are looking to understand how to get even more out of what they’re already doing with AI.”
What They're Saying
Sam Grise
VP of Strategy, 4B Marketing
"Jeff’s AI and Leadership workshop was a transformative experience. Despite my background in selling Conversational AI to Fortune 500 companies, I was blown away by how narrow-minded my approach to AI had been. Jeff’s interactive and engaging approach opened my eyes to entirely new ways of thinking. His framework was immediately applicable to both my business and personal role, and the value I gained from just a few hours will pay dividends far beyond the session. Thank you, Jeff, for such a powerful and insightful experience!"
What They're Saying
Kelle Ketchum
Director of Business Development, High Country Search Group
"I had the opportunity to attend Jeff’s AI and Leadership workshop and left with practical ideas I can immediately use in my business development efforts. Jeff makes AI approachable and shows how it can enhance communication, strengthen relationships, and create real impact. His workshop was both insightful and energizing, and I highly recommend his work to anyone looking to bring AI into their leadership and business practices."

I was fortunate to join a room full of senior executives as Jeff strategically taught and guided us full-pace! Jeff's commitment helped us think differently about applying AI practically, ethically, and innovatively! Jeff's knowledge and energy are captivating! I recommend you grab an opportunity to learn from him, too!"
