AI Ethics & Governance keynote speakers

AI ethics and governance keynote speakers give leaders a clear view of the risks that come with AI and the decisions that reduce them. Audiences leave knowing which questions to ask before a system goes live, who should own them and how responsible AI turns into policy and practice rather than a slide. Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer of Google [X], argued in Scary Smart (2021) that AI learns its values from the example people set. Toju Duke spent ten years at Google, latterly as a programme manager for Responsible AI across product and research teams. Nell Watson is an AI ethicist focused on transparency and human agency, and Jerry Kaplan co-founded the AI company Teknowledge in the 1980s before turning to the ethics of the technology. Compare their angles below, from boardroom governance to the values built into everyday tools, then check availability for your date.
