Andrew Sispoidis
Harness AI's extraordinary potential. Understand its hidden dangers and biggest risks. Let's create a more equitable, secure, and human-centric future, where the benefits of AI are shared by all.
Hello! I’m Andrew Sispoidis (and don’t worry, I’ll tell you how to pronounce it).
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of partnering with exceptional leaders to tackle our century's most complex issues. As an entrepreneur and strategic advisor, I've spent decades at the intersection of technology and privacy, witnessing firsthand how digital systems evolve from helpful tools into intimately embedded aspects of human life.
My industry expertise includes VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), pattern recognition, cybersecurity, encrypted communication, advanced energy technology, and artificial intelligence.
I’ve been at the forefront of technological advancement, co-founding and leading cutting-edge tech companies that have pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. I’ve raised over $250M in funding through seed, venture, and growth stages, leading to 4 successful exits and an aggregate market value of $1.4B across projects.
I’ve been recognized as an “Innovator” by the Connecticut Technology Council and the MIT Enterprise Forum. I’ve been a TEDx speaker on cyber security and a guest lecturer at Fordham, Columbia, Stanford, Yale, NYU, and the University of Connecticut. Most recently, I’ve had the honor to appear on the following podcasts:

WHY BOOK ME?
Here are real and recent news headlines:
AI's Data Appetite Is Huge. That's a Problem for Privacy Laws Bloomberg News, July 24, 2024
Intellectual property and data privacy: the hidden risks of AI
Nature, September 4, 2024
AI, huge hacks leave consumers facing a perfect storm of privacy perils Washington Post, December 3, 2024
AI Expert: More Must Be Done to Protect Data Privacy in the AI Age Inside Big Data, December 16, 2024
Apple AI has whipped up a storm over its use with private messages. Here’s what you need to know. Houston Chronicle, December 21, 2024
It may feel like this problem is too big for any of us to tackle. It may feel that the loss of privacy is the price we pay for progress. But I bring a different message.
WHAT I DELIVER ON STAGE (in person or remote):
My keynotes, workshops, and presentations focus on the critical realities that define our relationship with AI:
• The ethical development of AI and its impact on society
• Strategies for combating misinformation and cognitive manipulation
• The importance of aligning AI development with human values
• Embracing the potential and the future of AI while protecting human thought, creativity, privacy, and free will.
These workshops are meant for everyone—because very soon, interacting with AI won't be a choice. It’ll be as normal and as necessary as going on the Internet or talking on your cell phone.
These aren’t tech-heavy conversations unless you want them to be. And while we cover serious subjects, we aren’t doomsayers. We’re here to bring you the knowledge you need to make the right decisions for you and your loved ones.
There will be plenty of time during or after the presentation (depending on the format) for questions and answers. You’ll leave with a greater understanding of how to embrace AI's potential while protecting what makes us human.
If you have additional questions about what I can bring to your event, I'd be glad to talk with you. It's essential that you feel confident and comfortable working together. Lastly, the programs below are just a few of the things I can talk about. I'm happy to work with you to customize a keynote or workshop for your event.
