AI Keynote SpeakerAni Attamian

Ani Attamian is an AI keynote speaker who helps leaders move past the hype and decide what to actually do about artificial intelligence. She speaks from inside the enterprise as a former Google leader, drawing on 11 years there and more than two decades in media and technology, and now advises organisations through LEMA Collective.

Her keynotes do not list tools or predict the future. As an AI keynote speaker she finds the real problem an organisation is avoiding, the one AI keeps exposing, and turns it into a plan the room can act on. Having led EMEA publishing partnerships at Google, she is as fluent in AI for media and content as she is in enterprise AI readiness. Based between London and Boston, she speaks worldwide.

Based between London and Boston, Ani speaks worldwide, in person and virtually.

AI readiness and the data underneathWhy so many organisations are funding AI on data they cannot trust, and the order of operations that decides whether the investment returns anything.
Human-first, responsible AIAI that strengthens the people and systems around it, not just the tech stack. Drawn from her keynote, Human Systems Break Before the Technology Does.
AI in media and contentWhere AI genuinely changes media, content and publishing businesses, drawn from 11 years leading publishing partnerships at Google.
From pilot to planA single method, the Data-to-Decision Track, that turns competing AI initiatives into one ranked plan with an owner beside every decision.
