With his deep insights and unique storytelling style, he has become a sought-after keynote speaker on artificial intelligence, helping audiences worldwide understand the profound impacts of digitalisation on society, ethics, and business.

Andreas has delivered compelling talks, including TEDx presentations like Google Knowledge, Google Money, Google Power, The Myth of Unbiased Search Results, and his renowned TED Talk The Moral Bias Behind Your Search Results. In these talks, Ekstrom dissects the complex role of technology giants, showing how AI and algorithms shape perceptions, knowledge, and societal biases.

His accolades speak to his impact: Andreas was named Swedish Speaker of the Year in 2019, a testament to his ability to connect with audiences on complex digital issues. He has authored nine bestselling books, including The Google Code, a provocative look into the world of data monopolies, and On Finding, his latest book available in English, which explores digital transformation’s effects on information and truth.

In his talks, Andreas tackles what he sees as society’s misconceptions about AI – receiving on average an official client rating of 9.7/10 for his insightful speeches. While many view AI as an infallible source of information, Andreas educates audiences on its limitations and moral implications. He discusses the subtle ways AI can reinforce biases, influence opinions, and even mislead users. His perspectives encourage a reevaluation of digital ethics and inspire leaders to prioritise transparency, critical thinking, and accountability in their use of AI technologies.
