WHO ARE YOU
IN THE AGE OF AI?
AI is rewriting what work is worth. Roles, skills and careers built over decades lose their premises within months. This keynote moves the question from what AI can do to who we are when it does it.
Xerxes speaks about what AI changes in people, not only in business. In English and German. Three years before ChatGPT, on the TEDx stage, he said the rules would break. Today he works with leaders and companies standing in exactly that fog.
AI is rewriting what work is worth. Roles, skills and careers built over decades lose their premises within months. This keynote moves the question from what AI can do to who we are when it does it.
Most organisations answer AI with a plan. New tools, new structures. But a plan built on old premises only moves the problem. The ones who see the pattern early decide differently, and they decide from the business model down.
At the entrance to the temple of Delphi it says: Know thyself. The more machines take over what we do, the more this becomes the strategic question. Clarity about what actually drives you is the one thing AI cannot hand you.

"Xerxes rocks the stage stoically"
"Xerxes has the ability to explain complex & dry topics with exciting stories & examples."
"An exceptional, refreshing & thought-provoking keynote – connecting a tech-topic with human values. Excellent!"
Xerxes Voshmgir advises leaders at a turning point, in a role or in a company of their own. His background spans strategy and organisational development, social sciences and psychology.
He connects dots before others see them. In 2019, at TEDx, he described how AI would break the rules we work by. Three years later, ChatGPT arrived.
Originally Persian, born in Iran as the old order collapsed, Xerxes learned early that the rules can change overnight.
Twenty years of working with people and organisations, and his own turning points, taught him one thing: a plan built on old premises only moves the problem. On stage he brings that distance to the question every audience is facing now.
