Alex Kantrowitz's biography

At a glance

  • Founder of Big Technology newsletter and podcast
  • Author of Always Day One tech book
  • AI and technology journalist since 2015
Alex Kantrowitz is a technology journalist and founder of Big Technology who translates the complexities of artificial intelligence into clear, actionable insight for leaders navigating rapid change. Alex runs one of the most widely read independent tech publications, with 150,000 newsletter subscribers and a podcast exceeding one million annual downloads. He is the author of Always Day One: How the Tech Titans Plan to Stay on Top Forever, and Business Insider named him one of their 54 most influential tech reporters. His reporting on AI stretches back to 2015, giving him a depth of perspective that few commentators can match. Alex has broken news, appeared regularly on CNBC, and earned citations in The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, and Sports Illustrated. He brings this accumulated knowledge to the stage, offering audiences a working reporter's view of where AI is actually headed, not where hype suggests it might go. Audiences leave his sessions with concrete takeaways: six specific predictions about the next wave of AI development, a framework for identifying which industry shifts will create opportunity, and practical guidance on positioning an organization before competitors catch up. His predictions draw on original reporting rather than speculation. Book Alex to give your audience a clear, evidence-based roadmap for what comes next in artificial intelligence.

Why we recommend booking Alex

Alex brings a decade of AI reporting and 150,000 subscribers worth of pattern recognition to cut through vendor noise and give leadership teams a working framework for where the technology actually creates competitive advantage. His six-point prediction model is built on primary sources rather than conference circuit recycling, which means the guidance holds up when your team needs to allocate budget or shift headcount.
