A former executive at Google DeepMind and Intel, he helps people understand AI, its potential, and how it will shape the future of business, education, and society.

His book, The Innovation Ultimatum, is a how-to guide on innovation and digital transformation, and his new book, The AI Ultimatum: Preparing for a World of Intelligent Machines and Radical Transformation, will launch this fall. Steve breaks down why futurists don't predict the future but instead analyze emerging trends to understand what's becoming possible, and what leaders must do today to stay relevant tomorrow. From building AI-first organizations to amplifying human performance rather than replacing it, he reveals the mindset shift required to thrive in an era of exponential technological change. Together, they explore the reality behind AI fears, the industries most at risk of disruption, and the opportunities hiding inside the transformation already underway. Steve shares practical strategies for adopting agentic AI, rethinking how companies scale, and leveraging technology to unlock abundance instead of scarcity. This isn't just a conversation about automation or tools, it's a blueprint for navigating the next phase of humanity, where AI reshapes how we work, create, and contribute.
