The AI revolution is a human revolution in disguise and Dwayne Matthews is leading the charge, helping audiences bridge the gap between technological advancement and human potential. A future strategist with 20 years of experience working at the intersection of education, innovation, AI, neuroscience, and human performance, his simple but powerful Human OS framework helps audiences gain the clarity, tools, and mindset needed to live and lead with confidence in an AI-accelerated world.
A certified educator, Matthews has spent decades studying how people learn and perform. His expertise is sought by influential leaders and organizations worldwide. He has advised Fortune 500 leaders at Barrick Gold, Suncor, P&G [… read more], and DuPont; sat at round tables with heads of state to discuss the future of work and the role of digital literacy and education as a component of national security; addressed the United Nations; and, as an XPRIZE Education Domain Brain Trust Advisor, helped shape multi-million-dollar global competitions for benefactors like Sir Richard Branson.
Matthews unique perspective is built on a rich and varied career. As President of NeuroEdX, he led a company that used a powerful neurotechnology and AI platform to train elite performers, including US Air Force Pilots and Navy Seals. He also served as Senior Education Lead for the former Faubert Applied Research Centre and as the Executive Director of an intelligence firm focused on open innovation and disruptive technologies.
The author of three books, Matthews most recent book, Human OS: The Critical Update, is a practical operating manual for high performers looking to upgrade how they think, lead, and operate in a rapidly changing world dominated by AI. His thought leadership has seen him regularly appear on national Canadian television, including CTV’s Your Morning.
What sets Matthews apart is his focus. While the world talks about what AI can do, Dwayne focuses on the people using it: leaders, their teams, and the individuals navigating it every day. He helps them stop living by default and start living by design, providing them the necessary context to stay clear, focused, and human in the age of AI.
