Rogue AI will destroy many large companies and threaten governments. Cybercrime already costs $8tn a year. Criminal gangs and hostile governments are already hijacking AI - often working together in hybrid war strategies. Cybersecurity keynote.

If Cybercrime were a nation it would ALREADY be the world's 3rd largest economy. AI is massively boosting cybercrime – already $8 trillion a year. AI-driven cyberattacks are one of the greatest risks for every industry and a threat to every corporation. Our world is already being hit by over 500 million different ransomware attacks a year, 20% of cybercrime. 50% directed at US-based organisations. Although 90% of organisations refuse to pay, that means 50 million do so each year.

Cybersecurity is a Number One issue. Average ransom is $500,000, with no guarantee that data will be restored. Dealing with all damage and restoring things to normal, costs each company more than $2.2m on average, the equivalent of 35,000 hours of time. And that is without the cost to reputation, consumer trust and so on. 66% of companies report significant loss of revenue following an attack, with 29% laying off staff as a result. One in three UK companies hit by a ransomware attack close down altogether. AI itself is already being attacked – by rogue AI. Researchers have already “poisoned” AI by feeding “healthy” AI with hidden code in generative Chat requests, which turned that AI into a “Sleeper Agent”. It can then be hijacked at any time using special triggers in other Chat requests, to do really bad things such as write deliberate vulnerabilities into computer code. Such “poisoning” of AI is permanent, and almost impossible to detect or reverse. It is vital to understand that this is an “asymmetric battle”.

95% of surgical operations using robots by 2035. 30m procedures already globally. Already 10% of all ops in nations like UK are roboti-assisted. Health Care and AI Keynote Speaker

AI-Robot Surgeons will soon be operating themselves (not just as servo-arms of human beings) - and within 10 years will be carrying out major procedures independently. 30 million hours of robotic operations have already been carried out. 20% of all ops in UK are robot-assisted already, which will rise to 95% by 2035.

This is just a small part of the AI revolution taking place across health care, which will save 10 million lives a year by 2035. - 25% reduction in operative time - 30% decrease in intraoperative complications - 40% increase in surgical precision - 15% shorter recovery time - 20% higher surgeon workflow - 10% cut in healthcare costs While such robots typically cost around £1.5m, if they are used 300 times a year, they already pay for themselves due to the above. But techno-costs are falling fast.

And at the same time we can expect new financing deals on a Pay-As-You-Operate basis - no upfront costs apart from training. Robotic surgery is already growing at astonishing speed - get ready for lift-off, especially with these new financing methods. - 12m procedures globally growing by 1.5m a year - 60,000 surgeons trained - 6,000 robots in operating theatres globally Operating "robots" today are essentially servo-assisted devices, enabling human surgeons to work more safely, rapidly and efficiently, using tiny incisions and endoscopic tools which look like knitting needles. - 2.5 hours of new video recorded per operation (with all movements) - 30 million hours of video already available to train AI - 4 million more hours video pa A stage further will be to allow AI to begin to manipulate the endoscopic arms itself, with the surgeon just looking on. We can train AI with all the video of previous operations etc. During my keynote I asked several hundred UK surgeons if they thought that AI would be able soon to sew up an abdominal incision, or to stitch to ends of an artery together - unaided.

I carried out straw polls (hands in the air voting) on the following: - Removal of a small lipoma - Closure of abdomen - Sewing two ends of artery - Cataract surgery - Umbilical hernia - Stent insertion coronary artery - Benign prostate aquablation Over a third of surgeons think that AI-robots will be carrying out many such procedures on a routine basis within a decade or two - with surgeon present but not interfering in most cases. A key issues will be medico-legal liability. If AI-robotics is proven safe and consistent with superb clinical outcomes, compared to above average surgeons, for some procedures, there will be added pressures to hand over, not to interfere, with risk of being sued for malpractice if a surgeon does so and something "goes wrong". All this will in the longer term create profound challenges for training as well as supervision. * Keynote for The Royal College of Surgeons of England Future of Surgery Festival.

Strategic transformation - why 70% of corporate strategies fail to deliver. Lessons for leadership in all larger corporations. Keynote speaker on strategy and change management

Here is the shocking truth about business strategy in large organisations. 70% fail to deliver as hoped for, especially where large-scale change management is needed. In recent AI initiatives the failure rate has been even higher. For example, a recent survey of 6000 CEOs and senior executives found that 95% of companies had failed to see any benefit from their AI investment over the last three years.

There are multiple reasons for these high levels of failure which include unexpected changes in markets, customer expectations and behaviour, lack of focus on business fundamentals, unclear or over-ambitious objectives, poor cost control, failure to manage risks, and different parts of the business pulling in different directions.

But the core reason is often a disconnect between corporate strategy and how team members actually feel, whether they really believe in it all: involved, committed, engaged.

AI impact on pharma, medtech, biotech, health care innovation. Why AI will save 10m lives a year by 2035. Dr Patrick Dixon is a Physician and a Global Futurist Keynote Speaker, working with many of the world's largest health / AI companies

Dr Patrick Dixon is a global keynote speaker on BioTech, MedTech, author 18 books - here comment after AI HEALTH INNOVATION KEYNOTE at NextGen BioMed 2025.

Every aspect of health care, MedTech, BioTech, GeneTech and Pharma drug development is being accelerated by AI, and health care companies are likely to be spending over $4bn every year on AI by 2027. AI could drive up to $50bn a year of future sales. The number of new drugs developed using AI has already increased ten times in a single year.  For example, AI is being used to:

◆ Identify potentially useful molecules for tests

◆ Design and build completely new molecules to fit cell receptors, etc.

◆ Automate testing of hundreds of molecules

◆ Streamline clinical trials - speeding up recruitment by 100%

◆ Analyse data almost instantly

◆ Write up results

Beyond Chaos - how to survive and thrive. What next for global trade, tariffs, Russian war, other geopolitical risks and the global economy. Futurist Keynote Speaker

Comment on "global chaos' - March 2025 

As a Futurist who has worked with over 400 of the world's largest corporations, as well as advising many governments, I have successfully forecast a huge range of global trends over the last 30 years.

Described in many of my 18 books including Futurewise, The Future of Almost Everything, SustainAgility and most recently How AI Will Change Your Life. See also this website.

Our world is undergoing a major convulsion created by geopolitical threats, autocratic leaders and massive tehno-changes such as AI. What does this mean for the future?

Here are my key messages for leaders of companies and governments.  You may be the largest bank in the world, an AI giant or on oil company - the same factors apply.

Reality Check - Megatrends will continue to drive global growth

It's vital to keep a sense of perspective in times of chaos – to keep focussed on the larger picture.

Our planet continues to turn, day in, day out - and lives of almost all ordinary people continue to change relatively slowly.

Despite the frenzy of media news-feeds, the TRUTH is that our world will continue to be driven by macro-forces which are far more powerful than any government.

Examples include:

  • Innovation and techno-revolutions such as AI
  • Demographic changes – population growth, better health and ageing
  • Wealth contrasts across regions – driving mass migrations 
  • Rapid growth in power and influence of emerging markets
  • Global race towards a more ‘sustainable’ future

How to give world-class presentations. Keys to great keynotes. How to communicate better and win audiences over. Expert coaching for CEOs, Executives, keynote speakers – via Zoom or face to face. Patrick Dixon is one of the world's best keynote speakers

Giving an important presentation?  Need tips on your next keynote?  Preparing a lecture / keynote is often one of the most stressful things any senior executive has to do, whether for a team meeting, staff conference or client event.  

PERSUADE YOUR AUDIENCE

What’s the point of a great idea if you can’t persuade an audience?

Being able to present effectively to an audience is a Number One business skill yet most people can’t do it.  Here are simple steps for keynote success.

Get your keynote right, and your reputation will soar – you may even win promotion. Get your keynote wrong in an important event – and your career in that company will soon be over.

I am a professional keynote speaker, a Futurist author of 18 books – ranging from "How AI Will Change Your Life" to "The Future of (Almost) Everything".  

Several million people have heard me speak at major corporate events - over 800,000 people during a single webinar for example. I really enjoy being on large platforms, and I get a huge buzz out of engaging audiences from every nation and industry.

I often share the platform with CEOs of the largest corporations in the world, and I have been ranked in the past as one of the 20 most influential business thinkers in the world.   I have coached many senior business leaders on public speaking, right up to CEOs of really large companies ($2bn a year or more turnover).

So what do I tell them about how to communicate better?  Here are some of the secrets of all global keynote speakers. How to give world-class, superb, engaging, entertaining, life-changing keynotes or lectures or seminars.
