Where Artificial Intelligence
Meets Human Connection
Technology is most powerful when it helps us become more human, not less.
Helix WolfsonHelix Wolfson is an award-winning director, AI speaker and podcaster who has spent twenty years where story meets technology.
He has directed films, campaigns and music videos for Google, Microsoft, BMW, Uber, Toyota, AT&T, Deloitte, Salesforce, Infiniti and Gorillaz. In 2020 he built The Infinite Playa, the virtual Burning Man, then co-founded Infinite Reality and helped take it from an experimental startup to a multi-billion-dollar metaverse and AI company.
Today he runs Helix Imagen, making cinematic AI content for brands and teaching their teams to make it themselves. On stage he demystifies AI and shows people how to treat it as a creative partner, not a replacement, so their work gets faster, smarter and more human.
EQlibrium is a voice-first app for practicing the conversations people dread. You talk it through with AI characters who react like real people, so you can build emotional intelligence before the stakes are real. He's also writing a book on hype bubbles, drawn from his front-row seat to the metaverse boom.
An AI content studio built on twenty years of filmmaking. Helix Imagen makes top-tier AI-generated content for brands and teaches companies how to make it themselves, with their own taste in the director's chair.
Opening keynote at Innovate@UCLA's Executive Awards, UCLA Anderson's entrepreneurship gathering. The keynote the year before was Peter Diamandis.
In 2022 Infinite Reality was acquired and things took off. As co-founder, President of Metaverse Operations and spokesperson, Helix took the stage at SXSW, GITEX, London Tech Week and NAB, building cutting-edge virtual experiences and helping take the company from experimental startup to a multi-billion-dollar metaverse and AI company.
The Infinite Playa let thousands of burners build avatars, ride art cars and feel it, for real. It became the seed of Infinite Reality. Same year, with live music shut down, he launched the WeHOWL concert series for frontline workers.
As an immersive experience designer, Helix built a full-scale Batcave for Batman's 80th birthday at Comic-Con. Equal parts production design, logistics and nerve.
Helix created a political campaign unlike any other, one that ran on a single question: what would love do? He spent the campaign on Skid Row, celebrated his rivals' best ideas and lent his campaign manager to set up a debate the incumbent skipped. He didn't win. He won the room.

In 2012 his alter ego Paul E. Amori was first elected "mayor" of Lightning in a Bottle. A year later came Amori's Casino & Burlesque, a 40x60 circus tent of cabaret, fire, brass bands and magic that ran at the festival for years and landed at Burning Man in 2015. In 2016 he crashed a New Orleans riverboat on a lake at the Oregon Eclipse.
The moment HD video could finally live online, Helix took his guerrilla filmmaking techniques and founded Incite Visual Media. It served everyone from small businesses to Google, Microsoft, Uber, Toyota, AT&T, Deloitte, Salesforce and BMW, plus ten years as NAVEX Global's sole video partner.
His first feature, a dark comedy about Hollywood, shot on film on sets he built himself. He wrote, directed, produced and edited it. CallBack won Best Director, Best Film and a string of acting awards for its cast at multiple film festivals.

Helix has lived on the bleeding edge three times: film, immersive worlds and now AI. He brings back what actually works, gets the room laughing and hands people a next step they can take that same week.
How creators and brands use AI to amplify their vision instead of outsourcing it. Partner, not servant. Your vision, not the AI's.
Why story matters more, not less, when anyone can generate anything. Lessons from 35mm to Seedance.
Love as a leadership principle, not a slogan. The true story of the candidate who changed his name to make a point.
EQ is the skill most at risk in an AI-accelerated world, and the one most worth building.
An insider's account of the metaverse bubble, drawn from the book he's writing on hype bubbles. How to tell the bleeding edge from the cutting edge before you bet the company.
Keynotes, fireside chats, panels and multi-day workshops, tailored for leadership teams, creatives and L&D.
Opening keynote at UCLA Anderson's entrepreneurship conference. The keynote the year before: Peter Diamandis.
Speaker panels across multiple years on technology, media and culture.
"All Hail Your Robotic Friends," on mythology, robotics and humanity. Also a MindshareLA Connector.
His AI podcast with Douglas Campbell. Questionably fancy, definitely fabulous, and early to the party.
Now writing: a book on hype bubbles, from the metaverse to AI. An insider's view of riding one of the fastest bubbles in history, what it taught him, and how to spot the next one. It's the backbone of his After the Hype Cycle keynote.
Helix is one of those rare individuals who can see around corners and make complex ideas accessible. He challenges conventional thinking while sharing practical insights audiences can put into action.
If you ask him a simple question, don't expect a simple answer. Helix doesn't just present ideas, he follows them wherever they lead and somehow brings everyone along for the ride. Thoughtful, entertaining, and never boring.
I expected an interesting discussion about technology, but what unfolded was a much deeper exploration of creativity, human potential, and the choices we'll face. A conversation I won't soon forget.
Whether speaking on stage, leading a workshop, or sharing ideas one-on-one, he leaves people energized, challenged, and thinking bigger than they were before.
Conferences, corporate offsites, leadership retreats, universities and podcasts. In person from Austin, Bali or wherever the story is, and virtually anywhere.
If people leave without laughing at least once and feeling something real at least once, something went wrong.
