Biography

Miloš Maričić: AI Expert, Extreme Athlete, and Resilience Advocate

Miloš Maričić is a Serbian extreme athlete, entrepreneur, artist, and expert in artificial intelligence, and philanthropy.

Born and raised in war-torn Yugoslavia, he spent his youth BASE jumping off cliffs, eventually being recognized with an official BASE number (#2741), awarded to only a selected few in the sport.

He then turned his sights on entrepreneurship, starting two highly successful AI businesses. As the founder of the Altruist League, a global network of philanthropists committed to systemic change and rapid technological experimentation, Miloš has spearheaded innovative solutions for global problems, being recognized for this by the World Economic Forum.

As Chair of Executive AI, a group of CEOs of Europe’s large institutional investors, Miloš is one of the most prominent voices globally in finance and AI. He has represented the industry in shaping the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act and continues to lead discussions on how AI will affect industry and society in Europe, the US, Japan, and

For Miloš, extreme environments are the ultimate training grounds for personal growth and business leadership. A relentless advocate of mental resilience, he teaches leaders how to thrive under pressure and take on smart risk. His philosophy emphasizes that true peak performance comes from mastering and expressing the physical, creative and professional aspects of one’s personality, a message that resonates powerfully with entrepreneurs and business professionals alike.

Miloš believes that listening and empathy are a key component to true leadership. His celebrated project, The Last Few Ears, a TEDx-featured initiative that invites people to speak and be truly heard, has been featured by museums and art fairs around the globe.

Miloš’s other adventure achievements are too many to count. They include Hall of Fame recognition by the Iron Butt Association, for his long-distance motorcycle riding exploits; cold-water swimming races, such as Geneva’s Coupe de Noël; as well as a Krav Maga instructor license, in recognition of his long career of teaching self-defense in extreme environments.

If you’re looking for a speaker who can deliver unparalleled insights on risk management, mental toughness, peak performance, and the future of AI and business, Miloš Maričić is it. He will challenge your audience to be bolder, take their mental development more holistically, and redefine their limits.

The Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and Philanthropy (Routledge International Handbooks)

The Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and Philanthropy acts as a catalyst for the dialogue between two ecosystems with much to gain from collaboration: artificial intelligence (AI) and philanthropy. Bringing together leading academics, AI specialists, and philanthropy professionals, it offers a robust academic foundation for studying both how AI can be used and implemented within philanthropy and how philanthropy can guide the future development of AI in a responsible way. The contributors to this Handbook explore various facets of the AI‑philanthropy dynamic, critically assess hurdles to increased AI adoption and integration in philanthropy, map the application of AI within the philanthropic sector, evaluate how philanthropy can and should promote an AI that is ethical, inclusive, and responsible, and identify the landscape of risk strategies for their limitations and/or potential mitigation. These theoretical perspectives are complemented by several case studies that offer a pragmatic perspective on diverse, successful, and effective AI‑philanthropy synergies. As a result, this Handbook stands as a valuable academic reference capable of enriching the interactions of AI and philanthropy, uniting the perspectives of scholars and practitioners, thus building bridges between research and implementation, and setting the foundations for future research endeavors on this topic.

Fixing Philanthropy: Six Principles for Actually Improving the World When Giving Away Money

Philanthropy is on the defensive. Recent bestsellers have accused it of hypocrisy, ineffectiveness, and of serving to protect the status quo. There are more and more prominent billionaire philanthropists out there, but somehow the problems in our society persist – growing inequality, a crisis of dignity, climate inaction. Philanthropy needs fixing if it hopes to keep any relevance. Ekaterina Chernova and Milos Maricic are Partners at the Altruist League, the world’s largest supporter of grassroots activism. They propose a way forward through: adopting the principles of New Philanthropy: a better change theory and focus on systemic issues, embracing New Power, building alliances, while adopting new technological and financial models. Crucially, the authors remark that philanthropy can only change if philanthropists do. They are seeing a trend emerge – new funders who are intrinsically motivated and for whom investing in change is a pursuit with existential meaning rather than as a vanity exercise. The book predicts an upcoming split in the field. Philanthropy as we know it will become obsolete, true financial altruism will grow and might help solve the existential problems of our time.
