We Are Superheroes.

AI makes everyone faster, stronger and more capable, the way a suit does. It does not decide; people do. This keynote is about the person inside the suit: the seven human skills that grow more valuable as the tools spread, carried by a family story across four generations and three continents. It is a talk about the people listening more than the technology.

Rahim Hirji is available to speak on this subject, in person worldwide and online, for boards, executive teams, leadership offsites and conferences. He is a London-based keynote speaker specialising in AI and human judgement, and the author of SuperSkills (Kogan Page, 2026). He founded the skills platform EtonX, later acquired by Eton College, and led Quizlet’s international growth across more than 60 countries.
