Oliver’s TEDx talk, “AI-Powered Leadership: Why Supercomputers Need Supercommunicators” just dropped. 

It sets the stage for a real talk on what AI means for leaders. 

Oliver and his bestie, serial founder Gerrit McGowan explore how emerging tech is reshaping communication, leadership, and trust, and how leaders can use AI without losing authenticity.  

From voice cloning to deepfakes, from 3D avatars to AI writing assistants to humans leading teams of AI agents – this conversation hits on the future that’s just arrived. 

They explore what leadership looks like when AI can seemingly outthink us in every domain. They examine where humans still have the edge, and how leaders can stay relevant.

Gerrit also reveals how he lost his voice hours before a keynote and created his virtual self overnight to go on stage. 

They talk trust, communication, and how to train AI tools to sound like you. Plus, Oliver shares the 10–80–10 rule for using AI to accelerate your work without outsourcing your voice.

And both wrestle with a critical question: where does the human edge still matter?

This is not a debate on whether AI is coming. It’s a field manual for staying human and relevant.
