Schools outreach: 

Growing Up With AI

For secondary schools

AI is becoming part of everyday school life, not only through teaching and assessment, but through search, social media, image generation, AI companions, smart devices and the platforms students use beyond the classroom.

This session helps school communities understand what AI means for learning, privacy, consent, identity, relationships, safety and independent judgement. 

Janine explores how AI can shape what young people see, believe, create and share; how personalisation can become profiling; how images and voices can be manipulated; and how schools can help students use AI without losing agency, judgement or safety. The session also explore impacts of emerging technologies such as smart glasses AI notetakers and other AI connected devices. 

Drawing on her work in responsible AI, digital inclusion, smart glasses, deepfakes, technology-facilitated harm and AI literacy, Janine works with schools to create sessions that are relevant to their community and the issues they are actually facing.

Tailored for: students, parents and carers, teaching and professional staff, school leaders, or combined whole-school community events.

Available as: 60–90 minute presentation, parent evening, staff professional learning session, student session, or extended interactive workshop.

Governing AI: 

What Leaders Want to Hear

For executives, boards and senior leaders across sectors 

AI governance cannot be reduced to an AI policy or a list of approved tools.

This session gives leaders a practical way to examine AI across strategy, workforce, procurement, data, risk, safety and organisational responsibility. Janine introduces her Human (de)centred AI approach: where is AI already shaping decisions and services; what happens when an organisation becomes dependent on it; what must remain possible without it; and how should AI itself be documented, challenged and governed?

The session also brings into the executive conversation issues that are often split across separate portfolios: data dependency and commercial platforms, privacy and consent, professional autonomy, psychosocial risk, technology-facilitated harm, equity, accessibility, environmental consequences, human oversight and the legitimate right to refuse. Janine’s leadership work explicitly positions AI as a sociotechnical system affecting self, others and environment, not simply an IT implementation.

Suitable for: executive teams, boards, councils, senior leadership groups, governance and risk teams, public-sector leaders and organisations developing or reviewing AI strategy. 

Available as: 60–90 minute executive briefing, 2-hour leadership workshop, or 3-hour strategy.

Researching With AI:

The Intellectual Work You Still Own 

For researchers, HDR candidates, supervisors, research leaders and ethics communities

AI is changing research practice, but it is also changing the intellectual work around it.

This session examines what happens when AI enters literature review, theory building, data analysis, coding, writing, publication and research design. Participants explore questions of methodological integrity, automation bias, epistemic outsourcing, authorship, confidentiality, consent, reproducibility, transparency and the risk of losing theoretical originality.

Janine draws on her work in AI governance, research ethics and responsible AI to help researchers move beyond the simple question of “Can I use AI?” The focus is on developing the judgement to decide what AI can appropriately support, what must be verified and disclosed, and what intellectual work researchers must continue to own and defend themselves.

Suitable for: PhD and Masters by Research candidates, supervisors, research teams, research offices, ethics committees and institution-wide researcher development.

Available as: 60–90 minute presentation, 2-hour workshop, or tailored half-day program.
