Looking for an inspiring speaker?

My name is Aaron Mirck, and I am a TEDx speaker on technology. My mission is to make technology understandable for the general public. And to provide insight into the impact of technology on society. I believe that we can become much smarter, kinder, more productive, and happier if we use technology more consciously. I am now a sought-after speaker, delivering lectures across the country.

Some are afraid of AI because they read frightening reports about it. The other says that if you don’t work with AI today, you will be unemployed or bankrupt tomorrow. But what is the real deal with AI? This lecture is a crash course in AI and ChatGPT and will teach you to distinguish fact from fiction. Find out what the real deal is with artificial intelligence. Keywords: explanation, ethics and humor.
