Upcoming
Invited Ethics Lecture
Yakhini Research Group, Technion — 8 September 2026
Speaking themes
For groups navigating conflict, trust, leadership, public conversation, or difficult decisions. Avi helps people think about what it means to speak clearly, listen honestly, and take responsibility without turning every disagreement into a performance.
For conversations about family, friendship, work, dating, community, and the moments when people need clearer language. This work explores boundaries, repair, apology, self-responsibility, and the difference between honesty and cruelty.
For audiences trying to make sense of complicated public and private questions. Avi brings ethics down from abstraction into daily life: what we owe one another, how we make meaning, and how to act with more dignity and care.
For conversations about AI, synthetic media, platforms, free expression, and the future of trust. This is not a tech-first talk. It is about what technology reveals and amplifies in human beings: our need for truth, responsibility, discernment, and better judgment.
Signature talks and workshops
Drawing on the essay series The Human Work, this talk asks what productivity should actually serve — and when efficiency protects human flourishing rather than consuming it. For companies, research groups, and universities grappling with what AI-enabled speed is for.
As AI systems take on more consequential decisions, what remains distinctively human about moral judgment? This talk explores the ethics of delegation, accountability, and the responsibilities we cannot automate away.
Moral reasoning is not a subject — it is a practice that develops through ordinary life. This talk examines how ethical thinking can be cultivated in young people through relationships, education, and the everyday decisions that shape character.
How we frame, select, and tell stories carries ethical weight. This talk explores the gap between what people say and what they mean, what honest communication requires, and what happens when language is used to obscure rather than clarify.
