MATHIAS KARLSSON. – AI keynote speaker and adviser
How would you think if you knew what is already possible?
I work with AI in practice. On stage and with leadership teams, I make what is happening understandable and show what it changes for companies and people.
Has Moved.When technology stops being the bottleneck.About the talk
AI, AI, AI! WTF is going on?
“If only we could borrow your brains for a few hours!”
A live conversation where your questions lead. You ask, we answer, one question at a time. Anna from business and leadership, me from the technology. 60–90 minutes, on site with you.
- 25 years
- with technology, and a constant curiosity about what is possible.
- Hundreds
- of companies I have worked with and learned from.
- Thousands
- of people I have met through talks and training.
- Every day
- I build and test with AI, and take what I learn up on stage.
“This is how we have
always done it.”
It may have been exactly right. Until now.
Understand more,
change more.
I have spent twenty-five years on technology and the people who use it.
I have worked the support desk, sold the systems, set the strategy and built the solutions. That is why I see technology from several sides: what it can do, how it gets used and what it means for the people who have to decide.
Today I am co-founder of Mindact, where we help companies and organisations go from curiosity to actual use – through talks, training, workshops and strategic support.
I spend hours every day building and testing. What I show on stage is something I worked on myself only days before. I have been called both a professional sceptic and a tech psychologist, and both fit fairly well. I want to know what the technology holds up to when it meets reality, and what it does to those of us who use it.
I am on stage so that more people can join the conversation and have a say in where it goes. And leave with better questions, more curiosity and the nerve to try something they had written off.
My take on AIWe change the technology.
Then it changes the conditions.
- 01The pace
A well-considered strategy can soon rest on old assumptions. When AI changes what is possible, companies need to be able to learn anew, reconsider decisions and change course. That ability becomes a competitive advantage.
- 02The work
If two days of work can be done in ten minutes, we need to rethink the value of what we do. What is the customer paying for? Where does our expertise make the biggest difference? And what becomes possible when we have more time for other things?
- 03The agents
When AI can carry out tasks on its own, we need to rethink how we lead and divide the work. What do we hand over? Which decisions do we need to make ourselves? And who is responsible for the result?
- 04The systems
We have grown used to adapting our work to the systems we buy. When it becomes easier to build our own solutions, we can start at the other end: How do we want to work? What do we need to buy, what can we build ourselves and what can we do without?
- 05Control
An answer can sound convincing and still be wrong. The more decisions we hand to AI, the more our ability to judge the result matters. Delegating a task does not delegate the responsibility.
- 06Mindset
It is possible to become more efficient and less relevant at the same time. When we use AI to work faster, we also need to dare to question the work itself. Is what we do today what customers will need tomorrow?
Four ways to
work together.
Keynote
The Hard Part Has Moved · 45–60 minFor the conference, the customer event, the kickoff or the leadership team. About what happens when AI starts being used for real: to roles, strategy and familiar patterns.
About the talkLive conversation with Anna Willstedt
AI, AI, AI! WTF is going on? · 60–90 minFor the conference, kick-off or leadership team. A new kind of panel debate where the audience's questions lead, and Anna and I answer them one at a time, from business and technology.
To the live conversationPanel and stage conversation
Participant or moderatorFor the conference or event that wants a conversation on stage. As a panellist or moderator I bring technical knowledge and questions that take the conversation further.
Workshop
Half a day or a full dayFor the leadership team or group that wants to work on its own questions. We test familiar assumptions, explore what AI can change and decide the next steps.
Advisory and implementation
Through MindactFor anyone who has to make decisions about AI. I help you test proposals, ask suppliers better questions and prioritise. With Mindact we can then go further with training, strategy and development.
What do you need
to talk about?
A change that raises questions? A perspective you are missing? Or an event where you want people to think one step further?
Tell me what you are facing, and we will talk about how I can contribute.
