Who decides when AI decides?
A practical examination of automated decisions, human oversight and the evidence organisations need when technology affects people.
Speaking · podcasts · media
Complex ideas, made useful.
I speak about responsible AI, employment, governance and the future of work with the practical perspective of someone who has built, bought, advised on and scrutinised the technology.
The audience should leave with sharper questions, not just more terminology.
Good speaking changes what people notice when they return to work.
My talks combine technical understanding, operational experience and a clear view of the human consequences. I avoid both breathless optimism and blanket pessimism. The interesting work sits between them.
I am available for keynotes, panels, executive briefings, webinars, podcasts and informed media commentary.

How leaders can move from broad principles to governance, assurance and operating controls that work under real pressure.
