“Helen and Dave delivered a brilliant session for our 500-person advertising team at The New York Times. For businesses not inherently rooted in technology, there is perhaps no phenomena as alluring in its potential, inevitable in its advance and utterly terrifying by virtue of its technical and moral complexity as artificial intelligence. Dave and Helen delivered a uniquely engaging session that addressed this exact complexity and everyone came away from the workshop more optimistic about the role AI will play in their business moving forward.” Zazie Pence, Talent and Culture, The New York Times
”Helen and Dave sparked a candid and vigorous conversation among senior administrators from Oregon colleges and universities during their half-day session. While we've all been inundated with news reports and commentaries about AI, their presentation cut through the noise by helping identify key information and issues for these leaders to wrestle with.” Ben Cannon, Executive Director, Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission

“I have been involved in executive development and digital transformation for a number of years and can safely say that Helen and Dave's ability to make AI simple and accessible is outstanding. They break down technical barriers so executives can understand new strategic opportunities and the extent to which machines will change people and the way we work.” Paulo Pisano, Chief People Officer, Galp
“Helen and Dave have a unique understanding of AI technology, its business opportunities and its effect on people and society. They have a knack for pulling disparate pieces together in a way that helps people understand the bigger picture.” Kevin Delaney, Co-President and Editor-in-Chief, Quartz
“Helen and Dave have a unique ability to describe what it means to be human in the age of AI. They prompt an audience to think beyond the technology and to consider how technology can be both humanizing and dehumanizing. They are masters in translating complex issues into compelling, relatable stories, and theirs was the first presentation about AI that reassured me that, yes, we can do this, a beautiful future is possible with AI.” Tim Leberecht, Co-CEO, The House of Beautiful Business
