Biography

Adam Cheyer is one of the foundational minds behind the conversational AI that now reaches hundreds of millions of devices. As co-founder and VP of Engineering at Siri, Inc., he built the virtual assistant that Apple acquired in 2010, after which he served as a Director of Engineering in the iPhone and iOS group. He later co-founded Viv Labs, a venture built to give people a single intelligent interface to everything around them, acquired by Samsung in 2016. For financial services audiences navigating the rise of AI in trading, advisory, and client service, few speakers can explain the technology with this depth of authorship rather than commentary from the sidelines.

Cheyer's career sits at the intersection of research and commercialization, a combination that resonates with banking conferences, wealth-management summits, and fintech forums weighing where to invest. As a researcher he produced 60 publications and holds 25 issued patents, and at SRI International he served as Chief Architect of CALO, one of DARPA's largest AI and machine learning programs. He is also a founding member and advisor to Change.org and a co-founder of Sentient.ai, where massively scaled machine learning is aimed at the world's hardest problems. He earned his degree with highest honors from Brandeis University and was recognized as Outstanding Masters Student by UCLA's School of Engineering.

For CFO retreats and investment events, Cheyer translates the conversational AI revolution into terms that matter to financial decision-makers: what generative systems and AI agents can and cannot do, how they affect trading, customer service, and the future of knowledge work, and how institutions can stay ahead rather than react. Drawing on the firsthand story of building Siri, from a 1993 prototype to a global product, and on his perspective on the intelligent agents now embedded across industries, he gives financial services leaders a clear, candid view of the technology that will define the next decade of competition.
