Technology, Culture, AI, and You

AI marks a fundamental shift in how we interact with the world. From the way we work to the way we make decisions, AI is reshaping industries, reconfiguring workplaces, and redefining leadership. But while we all recognize the vast potential of this technology, many organizations are still struggling to understand how to integrate it effectively. That’s where Katie comes in.

As one of the world’s leading voices in technology journalism, Katie brings a big-picture understanding of AI’s impact on business, media, and society. But she also goes beyond the headlines—breaking down how AI is being used inside the world’s biggest tech companies and what leaders need to do today to stay ahead of the curve.

In dynamic, surprising, accessible talks, Katie reveals:

• How AI tools can help teams work smarter, not harder, and enhance human capabilities instead of replacing them.
• What happens when AI makes decisions that affect millions—and how to hold the right people accountable.
• What a world of AI-generated content means for truth, transparency, and storytelling in a digital age.
• How companies can strategically integrate AI to boost efficiency, innovation, and long-term growth.
