Recordings of various talks I’ve organised

Tom Graham is the CEO and cofounder of Metaphysic, a pioneering generative AI platform which uses proprietary AI tools to create hyperrealistic content and avatars. Think: photorealistic, Hollywood-grade content featuring utterly convincing but entirely tech-generated versions of today's biggest stars, deceased celebrities, even regular people.

Since Metaphysic's founding in 2021, they've created viral moments such as a performance on America’s Got Talent that resurrected Elvis Presley as well as the TikTok parody account @DeepTomCruise, which posts AI-generated, photorealistic videos featuring Miles Fisher playing the character DeepTomCruise. This Tiktok account has 5M followers

He wants to ensure that ethics and questions of individual empowerment remain central as we build online worlds and identities that are indistinguishable from reality.

Backed by Tiger Global, NEA, in-Q-Tel, NVIDIA and Google. Clients include telcos, the US Govt., banks, etc.

Tom also founded TLDR that has invested in and advised many top 100 blockchain projects.
