Alongside his incredible music career, David Usher has also worked with large language models and generative AI for the past eight years. He is the founder of Reimagine AI, a company that builds interactive AI-powered virtual beings for entertainment and healthcare, specifically for memory and Alzheimer's patients.

His journey from musician to AI CEO mirrors the journey that every person, company, and institution must undertake today. The world is at a technological inflection point, and we all need to understand and embrace this new technology... but how?

Through sharing his story, Usher empowers audiences to join him in this technological revolution, leveraging his experience as an AI CEO; lead singer of the multi-platinum, four-time Juno award-winning band Moist; and bestselling author. He not only illustrates why audiences need to embrace new technology but lays out a roadmap to actually doing it.

Usher will demonstrate that accessing one's innate creative thinking is the key to unlocking the potential of artificial intelligence in this new era. His dynamic presentations, which feature live music, technology, and humour, are not only entertaining but built to inspire audiences and ignite their creativity by showing them how they can be part of the AI revolution, both personally and professionally.
