Transforming Public Speaking and Healthcare with Artificial Intelligence

Public speaking is more than a professional endeavor for me, it’s a family tradition. My parents, both professors, instilled in me a passion for teaching and sharing knowledge. My father, a pioneer in Orthognathic Surgery in Brazil, was a celebrated speaker whose influence inspired me to take the stage at a young age.

I delivered my first lecture at the Brazilian Annual Orthodontics Meeting (SPO), the largest orthodontic event in South America, in my early twenties. The topic was orthodontic treatment planning for surgical cases, topic of my master’s thesis, a milestone I’ll never forget. Since then, I’ve delivered countless lectures over the past 25 years, serving as a faculty member and guest speaker at many universities. With the growth of Ortho.i® and the opening of our Texas office in United States, my international speaking career flourished. I’ve collaborated with global corporations such as 3M, Align, Dentsply Sirona, Straumann, and numerous professional associations.

Creating Experiences, Not Just Presentations

The best speakers do more than share information, they create memorable experiences. Using surprise, storytelling, and emotional resonance, they forge connections that goes long after the applause ends. While artificial intelligence can analyze trends and audience feedback to suggest content, the magic of a truly impactful speech still comes from the speaker's creativity and authenticity.

A critical question emerges. AI is revolutionizing many aspects of professional life. While it enhances countless fields, public speaking remains an inherently human art form. The ability to inspire, connect, and lead emotionally is uniquely human, an irreplaceable touch in crafting impactful speeches.

How can AI support speakers in delivering exceptional presentations?

AI tools are powerful allies for speakers, enhancing creativity and efficiency in several ways. Here it is a few examples in how AI can assist public speakers.

Catalyst for Creativity. AI platforms as Chatgpt, suggest ideas, uncover unique angles, and provide inspiration from diverse sources. AI-generated drafts, personalized and refined by the speaker, can lay the groundwork for engaging presentations.

Audience Analysis. By analyzing audience preferences and feedback, AI helps tailor messages to resonate deeply with listeners.

Dynamic Visuals. AI can suggest visuals, images, videos, charts, and layouts that enhance the impact of your speech, using an LLM of your choice. You can try AI platforms like Beautiful.ai, one of the leading tools for AI-powered presentation creation, to boost your productivity.

Ortho.i® Keynotes. Storytelling meets motivation and inspire action.

At Ortho.i®, we are reimagining the lecture experience by leveraging AI tools before, during, and after presentations, where our new AI-driven format will deliver an entirely new level of engagement and innovation. Through engaging storytelling, we illuminate the essence of your company and purpose, transforming each event into a memorable experience that resonates deeply with every attendee, increases brand and community engagement and boosts commercial outcomes.

Even as AI reshapes public speaking, authenticity remains paramount. Authenticity, emotional connection, and the ability to read and adapt to an audience in real time are irreplaceable hallmarks of a great public speaker. The warmth of a personal story, the nuance of a well-timed pause, and the genuine passion are elements AI simply cannot replicate. In a world increasingly shaped by technology, these human touches remain the heart of public speaking, creating connections that inspire and resonate deeply. AI should be viewed as a support tool, not a substitute for the speaker's voice. The human and live connection between speaker and audience are unique emotions and definitely irreplaceable.

The future of public speaking lies in harmonizing AI's capabilities with the human touch, same must be done in our practices. While technology can enhance performance, the essence of public speaking, the human connection, remains at its core. By embracing AI as an enhancer of creativity and empathy, speakers can unlock new levels of impact while preserving the authenticity that makes our messages truly unforgettable.
