Gerard du Buf is an inspired speaker who connects the advent of AI to the question that really matters: what does A.I. mean for your job happiness? With the creative eye of a magician and the tools of an NLP trainer, he makes an exciting topic accessible, relatable and surprisingly hopeful.

AI is everywhere—and it’s only going to become more prevalent. In the workplace, in education, in our daily lives. This presents opportunities, but it also raises questions. How does it affect your sense of control? Your sense of purpose? Your job satisfaction?

In the Magical Lecture “Does AI Make You Happy?”, Magical Speaker Gerard takes his audience on a surprising journey through the AI landscape. Don’t expect a dry technical lecture—and certainly not a depressing vision of the future—but rather a compelling, interactive talk that invites you to look toward the future with both a critical eye and a sense of hope.

Gerard explains why our brains naturally resist change and how you can turn that resistance into curiosity. Drawing on insights from scientific research and evidence-based tools from NLP and Positive Psychology, he provides concrete tools to help you engage with AI consciously and confidently.

And his magical sleight-of-hand effects? They illustrate exactly what happens in our brains when we’re confronted with something we don’t understand.

The lecture covers topics such as:
what AI can already do, how AI is changing you, workplace happiness and AI, the black box and control, the human behind the machine, AI as a tool, and consciously engaging with technology. All explained in an accessible, non-technical way by a speaker who has spent years training corporate teams.
