- Presentation One: Dr Paula Smith
- Presentation Two: Brice Digeyter
- Presentation Three: The Silent Killers of Innovation in an AI Economy, Nicky Verd
This session explores the hidden forces that kill innovation in the age of AI… fear disguised as caution, tool obsession without thinking, leadership that delegates AI away from decision-making, and cultures that reward certainty over experimentation. The Silent Killers of Innovation in an AI Economy shifts the conversation away from technology itself and back to people, power and culture. It challenges leaders to confront uncomfortable truths about how fear, legacy thinking and misplaced incentives undermine creativity in the very moment it’s needed most. This is not a talk about building more AI products but about removing the invisible blockers that stop people from imagining, challenging and creating in an AI-driven world.
