Susi O Neill Keynotes and Workshops

Keynote 1: Move Slow and Fix Things — Rethink AI Hype and Bring Your People on the Journey

This keynote explores how organisations can take a more innovative, people-first approach to AI. Susi explains why AI’s benefits are often oversold, how to stay ahead without getting trapped in the hype cycle, and how to address team concerns to improve adoption while maintaining trust.

Keynote 2: Inclusive AI Is Survival

Susi highlights the importance of inclusive AI and why leaving underrepresented groups behind undermines organisational success. The talk uncovers eight adoption gaps and provides practical strategies to ensure AI opens opportunities for everyone, particularly women and other underrepresented groups.

Keynote 3: Frontier Futures — Explore What’s Now and Next in Tech

This session examines the current and emerging technologies shaping business. Susi shares insights into which innovations are delivering real results, which are noise, and how organisations can navigate radical uncertainty to make smarter technology decisions.

Keynote 4: Trust and AI — How to Build Trust in an AI World

Susi addresses the challenges of building trust in an AI-driven environment. She explains why generative AI content isn’t always trusted, what people really think about AI, and how to integrate AI thoughtfully into work and branding without undermining credibility.

Keynote 5: When AI Goes Rogue — When Algorithms Meet the Messy Reality

This keynote uses real-world examples to show how AI projects can go unexpectedly wrong. Susi explains why AI hallucinations occur, how careless AI affects brand trust and sales, and how to set up AI-human collaborations to ensure project success.

Music and AI

Susi previously enjoyed a career as an electronic musician, presenting an acclaimed show on the history of electronic music in sold-out theatre venues and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.   With her music background, Susi can combine her deep expertise in emerging technologies and strategic communications with a creative foundation, giving her a unique perspective on how AI is transforming creative fields like music.

Her experience presenting an acclaimed show on the history of electronic music and performing at sold-out venues adds a creative lens to her technology insights, enabling her to speak credibly about the cultural and human impacts of AI in music creation, distribution, and experience — beyond the technical aspects alone.

This blend of technical understanding and artistic experience allows Susi to explore how AI tools are reshaping the music industry, how musicians can adopt AI thoughtfully, and how organisations can navigate ethical, cultural, and creative challenges in the era of AI-generated sound and collaboration — making her talks especially relevant for audiences at the intersection of AI and the arts.
