I help organisations understand user behaviour and build responsible, high-impact AI—and I make the journey understandable for executives, product teams, and the public.What I offer
-
Keynotes & Public Talks
Clear, energising talks on responsible AI, recommender systems, trust & misinformation, and behaviour change (media & health). Audiences leave with practical frameworks they can use the next day.
