Artificial intelligence is not just a technological shift. It is changing the way we work, create, decide and assign value to things.

Talks by Cauê Madeira, founder of Haikai, help leaders and organizations understand this transition without dazzlement, without doom and, above all, without losing sight of people.

AI is real, it is not that complicated, and it can transform your life and your work.

The People vs. AI

A trial about creativity, authorship and responsibility in the age of machines.

Instead of debating whether artificial intelligence is good or bad, the talk puts the human, economic and political choices built around it in the defendant's chair. A provocative, funny and visual presentation about work, creation, thinking and the true meaning of authorship. After all, if AI doesn't act on its own, who is really on trial?

The talk builds to a climax in which the audience acts as the jury and we hold a live trial.

Ideal for
innovation, communications, creativity, culture and leadership events.

Reputation + AI

When anyone can produce anything, who can we still trust?

Artificial intelligence has radically expanded our ability to create, simulate and distribute content. But while production got cheaper, responsibility did not keep pace. The talk explores how agents, synthetic content, automation, deepfakes and new search engines are reshaping how trust is built, and why reputation, context and accountability become even more valuable when reality can be fabricated at scale.

You can choose a contextual angle with cases, trends and use cases from different sectors.

Work Better

The future of work should not be working faster to receive even more work.

Much of the conversation about AI and productivity starts from a limited promise: doing more in less time. But speeding up bad processes does not necessarily improve the experience of work. The talk proposes another horizon for artificial intelligence: reducing the work about work, preserving knowledge, expanding capabilities and giving time back to what calls for judgment, creativity and human presence.

We focus on good practices, skills, hacks and unusual applications to get more done, and done better.

Ideal for
leadership meetings, HR, culture, transformation, innovation and corporate conventions.

AI Day 1: where to start

You do not need to keep up with everything. You need to know your first move.

New tools show up every day, while the pressure to “do something with AI” only grows. This talk cuts through the noise and presents the first steps to get started in a practical way on putting a corporate AI policy and structure in place: understanding the possibilities, identifying relevant tasks and problems, experimenting safely and building a learning routine. A starting point for anyone who wants to move from anxiety to action.

Ideal for
beginner audiences, companies, awareness events, innovation weeks and the launch of upskilling programs.

AI Without Guilt

Between the fear of using it and the fear of being left behind, there is room to learn.

Artificial intelligence now comes with two kinds of guilt: that of those who use it and fear they are cheating, and that of those who don't and feel they are becoming obsolete. The talk questions this false choice and proposes a more conscious relationship with technology, without dazzlement, shame or the obligation to keep up with every novelty. Using AI does not remove responsibility; not using it does not automatically preserve what makes us human, either.

Ideal for
broad audiences, creative, education and communications professionals, and events about culture and the future.

The creative process of AI

Creating with artificial intelligence is not pushing a button: it is building a sequence of choices.

The talk opens the black box of creating with AI and shows what lies between the initial intent and the final result: know-how, direction, experimentation, selection, editing and responsibility. More than debating whether the machine is creative or not, the presentation reveals how AI reorganizes the creative process, and why authorship depends less on isolated execution and more on the quality of the decisions made along the way.

Ideal for
creative, communications, marketing, design, content, audiovisual and culture professionals.

AI for leaders

Leading AI adoption does not require knowing every tool: it requires asking the right questions.

The role of leadership is not to master every new platform, but to create direction, safety and the conditions for the organization to learn. The talk presents the decisions leaders need to make about priorities, experimentation, upskilling, governance and results. A direct look at how to lead adoption without centralizing everything in technology and without delegating the company's future exclusively to the IT department.

Ideal for
senior leadership, management, boards, executive meetings and development programs.
