  • Man-Made: How to Beat AI Bias
    AI is sold as faster, smarter and more objective than humans. But what if it's deepening the very problems it promises to fix? Drawing on her acclaimed book Man-Made, multiple Walkley Award-winning journalist Tracey Spicer AM reveals how biased algorithms and data quietly embed discrimination into everything from hiring and healthcare to policing and advertising, putting brand integrity, customer trust and compliance at risk.
    In this eye-opening and surprisingly funny keynote, Tracey arms leaders and teams with the tools to fight back, concluding with a hopeful vision of a 'protopia': a more inclusive, ethical and human-centred approach to AI that benefits us all.
    Audience Takeaways:
    • Identify where dangerous and damaging biases are hiding in datasets, design processes, and everyday AI applications
    • Gain practical steps and tools to reduce algorithmic bias and protect your brand, team, and community
    • Understand how to move toward a 'protopia' by implementing ethical, inclusive, and human-led AI practices
  • It's Critical! Thriving amid Misinformation and Disinformation
    The most dangerous threat to your business isn't a cyberattack or a market crash: it's a lack of critical thinking. From viral deepfakes to AI-generated boardroom briefings, misinformation and disinformation are reshaping business at breathtaking speed. With four-out-of-five employees already using unauthorised AI tools, it's happening inside your own walls, quietly corroding culture, derailing strategy and costing organisations millions.
    Drawing on almost 40 years of frontline truth-seeking, multiple Walkley Award-winning journalist Tracey Spicer AM makes the case for humanity's oldest superpower: healthy scepticism. With investigative rigour and razor-sharp wit, she gives teams practical frameworks to question assumptions, verify before they amplify, and lead with evidence rather than emotion. In the age of agentic AI, the organisations that invest in human discernment are the ones that endure.
    Perfect for executives, senior leaders and board members navigating complex, fast-moving information environments; communications, marketing and HR professionals managing reputation and culture; and any organisation that wants to future-proof its decision-making in the age of agentic AI and fast-paced automation.
    Audience takeaways:
    • Understand how misinformation and disinformation enter your organisation, and the hidden costs when they go unchallenged.
    • Identify the cognitive biases most likely to hijack decision-making in high-pressure business environments.
    • Learn a journalist's toolkit for telling what's real from what's AI-generated: the practical signs, source-checks and verification habits that expose deepfakes and fabrications before they spread.
    • Walk away with tools to usher in a golden age of critical thinking in your workplace, home and community.
  • Crisis Communications
