The Tony Robbins AI Advantage Summit was, quite frankly, a complete waste of time. I joined expecting to hear meaningful insights into how AI is reshaping business strategy, leadership, and operational transformation. Instead, it was an overly polished sales pitch dressed up as thought leadership. The event focused far more on hype than substance, offering recycled talking points about mindset, motivation, and “unlocking potential,” rather than any real understanding of AI’s practical applications or ethical implications. For a summit that claimed to teach business leaders how to leverage AI, it lacked depth, structure, and credible expertise. There was no discussion about governance, implementation challenges, or the realities of integrating AI into complex organizations, just a continuous stream of promotional content designed to sell programs, not expand understanding. For professionals who actually work in this field or study AI’s real-world impact, it felt superficial and manipulative rather than informative or inspiring.
