David Borish
AI Strategist in New York, NY
David Borish has spent 25 years building things at the edge of what's possible, from co-creating the first VR headset sold on television with Shark Tank's Daymond John to developing high-speed 360-degree camera technology adopted by the NFL and NRL for sports broadcast. He holds two patents, has two successful exits, and a track record of identifying technology shifts before they become obvious.
His July 2024 prediction that China's AI capabilities would surge was widely dismissed until DeepSeek's emergence triggered significant market corrections months later, validating what he had been writing about in The Canadian Press and across his platforms. That ability to see around corners is what drives his current work as an Enterprise AI Strategist at Trace3 an Apollo Management Company, where he advises major organizations on artificial intelligence implementation, and as the architect of the "Open-Prem Inflection Point" framework, a thesis on on-premises AI deployment developed in partnership with IBM for enterprise clients.
Borish is the founder of The AI Spectator, where he publishes daily analysis of the AI industry, and co-host of "Jocks and Bots," a technology show launching this spring on a major media platform exploring the intersection of sports, technology, and culture. His work has been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, Entrepreneur, MarketWatch, and The Canadian Press. He serves as a Guest Lecturer and Mentor at New York University and delivers keynotes at institutions including NYU, Cornell, and conferences worldwide.
He is currently writing "The Tony Hawk Paradox," a book exploring simulation theory through the lens of how video game tricks became real-world reality. It is the kind of question that sits at the intersection of everything he has spent his career thinking about: technology, culture, and the moments where the impossible becomes inevitable.
