Popular Talks by Mark Breslin

  • Nobody Is Coming to Check Its Work

    Every enterprise AI deployment so far has had a safety net: a human who reviews the output before it matters. Agentic AI removes it. Systems that act, transact and decide are arriving inside organisations that never fixed the readiness gaps exposed by generative AI, and this time the errors compound…

  • Why Most AI Strategies Fail Before They Start

    AI programmes rarely fail in deployment. They fail months earlier, in decisions about ownership, data, incentives and workflow that nobody labelled as AI decisions at the time. Drawing on his experience leading AI across Informa’s 90-plus brands, and on the initiatives that did not work as well as the ones…

  • Your Chief AI Officer Can't Save You

    Appointing an AI leader has become the default answer to the AI question. It is not a strategy. As one of the UK’s first FTSE100 Chief AI Officers, Mark explains what the role can genuinely fix, what it cannot, and why organisations that treat the CAIO as an outsourcing mechanism…

  • Who Is Going to Run It? Inside the Gulf's AI Ambition

    Saudi Arabia and the UAE are making the most ambitious AI infrastructure bets on earth. The capital is real, the buildings are real, and the operational capability to run what is being built lags a long way behind the announcements. Drawing on his documentary work about AI in Saudi Arabia…

  • When the Reader Is a Machine: AI and the Future of B2B Media

    B2B media built its business on aggregating information and selling access to audiences. AI agents now do the aggregation for free, and increasingly they are the audience. Having led AI strategy across Informa’s portfolio of more than 90 events and publishing brands, Mark sets out which parts of the B2B…

  • Board and Executive Briefing: AI Without the Theatre

    A private session for boards and executive teams that skips the hype and the doom in equal measure. Mark covers what the technology can and cannot do today, the questions directors should be asking of management, where the real risks sit (rarely where the headlines suggest), and how to judge…

Biography

Mark Breslin was one of the UK’s first FTSE100 Chief AI Officers. As Chief AI Officer and Chief Product & Technology Officer at Informa PLC, he built and led AI adoption across a portfolio of more than 90 B2B events and publishing brands, establishing the group’s AI Centre of Excellence and taking the business from scattered pilots to focused enterprise-wide deployment. He has done the job most AI speakers only talk about.

Most AI speakers are academics or vendors. Mark is neither. He speaks from operating experience, including the failures, on what separates AI programmes that reach production from those that die in pilot. His current focus is agentic AI, and what happens when systems that act rather than suggest arrive inside organisations that were never ready for the last wave.

Mark has delivered keynotes, chaired panels and led workshops at the AI Summit London, the AI Summit New York, Africa Tech Festival and Salesforce World Tour London. He is an op-ed contributor to AGBI, the leading business publication covering the Gulf, and an on-camera contributor to a television documentary series about AI in Saudi Arabia. His Gulf commentary, spanning Vision 2030, Humain, NEOM and the UAE’s sovereign AI ambitions, examines the distance between the region’s announcements and its operational reality.

He advises boards and executive teams on AI strategy, governance and organisational readiness, is an AI Advisor to DataArt, a 6,000-person international software development house. Mark co-founded Amplifi & Impact, an applied AI consultancy through which he has deployed AI capabilities with well-known global brands. He also holds a board seat at an agentic AI company.

Audiences do not leave a Mark Breslin keynote inspired about AI. They leave knowing what to do about it on Monday morning.
