Workshop: Notes of Caution for An AI-Driven World

AI is here now. But what does that really mean for you, your business, your clients, your team?

Much of the conversation around AI has focused on opportunity: a tool to boost creativity, enhance operations, accelerate data analysis, and unlock growth. Embrace AI, we are promised, and the future is yours.

But as AI becomes embedded in everyday work, it’s time to ask a different question: what might we be giving up?

In this thought-provoking workshop, Dr Susan Mandala, writer, trainer and expert in human communication, challenges the assumption that AI is always the answer. Instead, she invites you to consider when not to use it.

Through interactive discussion and practical reflection, you’ll explore the deeper implications of AI for critical thinking, decision-making and authentic communication - core skills no business can afford to lose.

You’ll also consider the emerging ethical questions around authorship, ownership, and trust in AI-generated content and reflect on what responsible, human-centred AI use could look like in your business.

We’ll finish with a practical thought exercise: based on everything you’ve explored, what does an enlightened AI policy look like for your organisation?
