AI, Explained for the Room You're In
No hype, no jargon — a plain-English conversation about the technology already reshaping healthcare, retirement, education, and government.
Jack Heslin has spent over 35 years in technology sales and business development — from MakerBot and Stratasys Direct to VC-backed AI startups — always at the table where organizations actually decide whether to adopt new technology, from front-line staff to the C-suite. He holds an AI certificate from the Wharton School and has spoken at trade shows including MD&M East, MD&M West, MD&M Minneapolis, and Cleveland ADM, along with corporate leadership teams, university and high school classrooms, and civic organizations across Delaware, including the Nanticoke Rotary Club and area Lions Clubs. He's also the publisher of The AI Conversation, a newsletter built specifically to explain what AI means for people 55 and older — without telling them what to think about it.
What the Talks Cover
Jack doesn't treat AI as just the next wave of "progress." As he puts it, this is a seminal moment — a technology that won't just improve on what came before it, but will shape everything that comes after it. Every talk is built around that idea, and every talk is built for the specific room: what artificial intelligence actually is and how it works, where it's already showing up in daily life — healthcare, retirement and personal finance, education, government — what's likely coming next, and the legislative questions communities are starting to wrestle with. Audiences have ranged from trade show floors and corporate boardrooms to university lecture halls, high school classrooms, and community groups meeting on a Tuesday night — the content adjusts, the plain-English approach doesn't.
