Organisations today face profound challenges as AI and data-driven systems increasingly mediate human decisions. A keynote from Dr Michal Kosinski offers a rare bridge between rigorous psychological science and real-world technology strategy: he reveals how our digital traces (from likes to facial data) expose deeply personal traits, he warns of the risks to privacy and democracy, and he offers a compelling vision of how leaders can guide the ethical integration of AI into business and society.
Simon Morris
Simon was invited to deliver a flagship talk at a global technology company’s leadership summit in 2024. Tasked with redefining their approach to customer-centric innovation, he crafted a keynote that drew on case-studies from his time at Amazon, SEGA and LOVEFiLM. He introduced his “Creative & Commercial” model, showing how storytelling, data and product innovation must work hand-in-hand. The result: the company re-aligned their global marketing operation, set a new growth target for emerging markets and committed to a restructured creative hub. Feedback from delegates highlighted the clarity of Simon’s frameworks and the authenticity of his storytelling: “the best speaker we’ve ever had” according to one observer.
