Michal Kosinski Biography

Michal Kosinski is one of the world's most influential academics working on artificial intelligence. A Professor of Management and Strategy at the University of Hong Kong — previously at Stanford University and the University of Cambridge — he uses AI to study people, and psychology to study AI.

Kosinski has keynoted for organizations including PwC, Google, McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, P&G, and Deutsche Telekom, and has spoken at venues ranging from the European Parliament and Chatham House to C-SPAN and DLD — where his 2025 talk on the psychology of AI was voted Best Talk of the Day. He advises governments and corporations on AI, having testified before the FTC, the Department of Justice, and the EEOC, and serves on the AI Board of TELUS. Audiences rate him exceptionally: 9.81/10 at a recent leadership event — ""the highest score I've ever seen,"" per the organizer.

His research showed that ordinary digital footprints — likes, clicks, images — reveal our intimate traits. He was behind the first press article warning against Cambridge Analytica, published three years before the scandal broke, and his work drove the FTC case that ended in Facebook's record $5 billion fine. More recently, he was among the first to show human-like psychological processes emerging in large language models — research that changed how scientists and companies think about what AI can do.

One of the world's most cited scientists (30,000+ citations, Clarivate top 1%), his research has inspired a cover story in The Economist, the theatre production ""Privacy"" (Donmar Warehouse, London; Public Theater, New York), several TED talks, and a video game — and has been featured in thousands of press articles, podcasts, and documentaries worldwide.

Michal Kosinski Speaking Topics

  • Making Sense of Modern AI (core session)

    How today's AI systems actually work, what they are genuinely good at, and where they reliably fail. Executives leave with a clear, practical mental model of AI — and sharper judgment about when to trust it, how to validate it, and where human leadership remains critical.

  • Digital Twins: Predicting and Modeling Human Behavior with AI

    Digital records enable algorithmic models of individuals' traits, preferences, and likely behaviors, with powerful applications in leadership, talent, marketing, and healthcare — and serious risks of manipulation and surveillance. Leaders leave knowing what these models can reliably predict, where their limits lie, and where the red lines are.
