Book Harry Glorikian to Speak
AI can now do more of the work people used to handle themselves. For a business, that raises questions about how customers choose, what employees can delegate and who is responsible when something goes wrong.
Harry Glorikian explains these changes through examples leaders can follow and question. His book, The Invisible Interface, examines the layer developing between what people want and what gets done. His talks connect that change to the decisions leaders face.

Talk subjects
When AI Starts Choosing for Your Customer
If an agent compares the options before your customer visits your website, what does it need to see to choose you? Harry examines how that shift could change the customer relationship and the cost of reaching a buyer. He looks at where familiar advantages may weaken, how defaults can influence selection and who captures the value when another company sits between you and your customer. The discussion helps leaders consider what this could mean for their businesses, without assuming every customer or industry will change at the same speed.
Best fit: CEOs, boards, commercial leaders and industry conferences.
What Changes When AI Can Act
Letting an AI draft a refund email and letting it issue the refund place different responsibilities on a business. Harry explores what changes as software moves from helping with a decision to carrying it out. The discussion covers permission to act, evidence people can check and the ability to intervene. It also examines what happens when an organization’s know-how becomes tied to a vendor’s system. Participants leave better equipped to question proposals from management, their technical teams and vendors.
Best fit: boards, executive teams and leadership forums.
What It Takes to Turn Better Technology Into Better Care
A faster finding still has to reach someone who can use it. Drawing on his healthcare experience and conversations with industry leaders, Harry examines what has to happen around a new capability for patients and physicians to benefit. Ultra-rapid genome sequencing provides one example: testing, interpretation and care have to connect. Payment raises another question when the organization funding the work may not receive the resulting savings. The session helps health-system and life-sciences leaders examine those connections rather than judge progress only by the technology.
Best fit: healthcare boards, health systems, life-sciences organizations and clinical innovation events.
What the audience gains
A clearer understanding of the changes underway, examples they can relate to their own organization, and sharper questions for the decisions ahead. The session does not require a technical background.
Praise for The Invisible Interface
‘Harry Glorikian anticipates the future with his book The Invisible Interface, a dramatic change in how we will interact with our digital technologies. His insights of a Personal Operating Layer paints an exciting vision of effortless, comfortable interactions that will feel so natural, so essential, that we will wonder how we ever got along without it.’
Don Norman, Author of The Design of Everyday Things and Design for a Better World
‘Most AI books explain the technology. The Invisible Interface explains the economics – specifically, why the layer between users and AI services is the most valuable real estate in the digital economy right now. Harry Glorikian gets the commercial dynamics exactly right: the default is the moat, memory is the switching cost, and trust is the new acquisition channel. That’s the game.’
GC Lionetti, Chief Commercial Officer, OpenAI
