Jamie Susskind

Jamie Susskind is a distinguished barrister and an acclaimed author specialising in the impact of digital evolution on democracy, power, and the law. His professional practice focuses on business and employment law alongside public and human rights. Previously a Fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Centre for Internet and Society, he has become a leading commentator for major international publications including the Daily Telegraph, The New York Times, and Wired. His highly regarded work, Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech, received the 2019 Estoril Global Issues Distinguished Book Prize and secured Book of the Year honours from both the Evening Standard and Prospect. Proposing that the digital realm now rivals the state and the market in its ability to shape human existence, he explores how technology redefines the boundaries of justice and social organisation. With a background in high-level legal advocacy and academic research, he provides audiences with a clear understanding of the regulatory and ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence. Organisations book him for his ability to translate complex technological shifts into compelling narratives about the future of governance and societal structure. On stage, Jamie Susskind is best known for talks on AI and Politics & Geopolitics. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Jamie Susskind is regularly booked for Conference Speaker and Business Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
