## Keynote Speaking

Daniel speaks to CEO and board-level audiences about the AI decisions they are making right now. Not trends, not abstractions, not forecasts five years out. He shares what is working and what is not in a live deployment.

Recurring themes:
- AI and the new business development playbook
- What the CRM generation got wrong and what replaces it
- How CEOs separate AI possibility from data reality
- Where AI earns its keep in the next 90 to 180 days

Notable appearance: co-presented the NAB Show keynote in April 2024 with Ameca, one of the most advanced humanoid robots in the world. His thesis: the future belongs to operators who combine human instinct and machine intelligence faster than their competitors can learn to.

## Writing

Anstandig on the Future (Substack): essays on AI, the people building with it, and where it is going. https://anstandig.substack.com

Letters to a Young Robot (in progress): a book written as letters to the first truly self-aware machine, for the operators, builders, and CEOs making consequential AI decisions right now. Its argument: the greatest risk of AI is not that it replaces human intelligence, but that it replicates human unconsciousness and multiplies it.

## Philosophy

Humans and AI are better together. Daniel approaches AI from inside the build, presses engineers on what is durable and profitable versus what is clever, and brings that discipline into the boardroom.
