Adam Spencer

Australia's leading voice on AI, cybersecurity and the ChatGPT revolution — with the wit of one of the country's most trusted broadcasters

Overview

Adam Spencer is one of Australia's most sought-after keynote speakers on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and the future of work. Drawing on 25+ years as an award-winning broadcaster and his lifelong obsession with mathematics, Adam translates the pace of the AI revolution — generative AI, ChatGPT, and the risks and opportunities reshaping every industry — into insight audiences can actually use. As Malcolm Gladwell put it: "The things Adam Spencer talks and writes about should be taught in every school worldwide."

Adam's authority isn't theoretical — his content is updated constantly with breakthroughs that are often just weeks old, and he's trusted by organisations ranging from AusCert (Australia's peak cybersecurity conference, which he's hosted for 15 years) to Fortune 500 companies navigating what generative AI actually means for their business. He shared the 2013 TED stage in California alongside Elon Musk, Ben Affleck and Bono, and his TED Talk on massive prime numbers has drawn more than two million views and is regularly ranked among the best TED talks on maths and science — featured in Carmen Gallo's Talk Like TED.
