Speaking
What happens when 155 people choose to laugh together? In this 4-minute closing to my talk “Are Our Brains Ready for AI?”, I remind the audience that joy is not something we can automate or outsource. Our brains are wired for survival — not happiness — which means we must consciously choose laughter, connection, and meaning. Watch how one shared moment of laughter transforms a room and reveals what truly makes us human.
Robert Paris delivers science-based, experiential keynotes that help audiences understand their brains, break limiting patterns, and reconnect with the human capacities that no technology can replace. Participants leave energized, grounded, and equipped with practical tools they can use immediately.
