A broader perspective

There’s more to the AI conversation.

I bring hands-on experience and AI ethics research to the questions that matter: what AI makes possible, what it puts at risk, and what it means for people.

How we can work together

Let’s work together

Rebecca Bultsma explaining AI on stage at MAICON.

Speaking

Keynotes and expert panels that get people thinking differently about AI.

I don’t do canned keynotes. Ever.

Every talk is built for your audience, with the latest developments, research and examples relevant to their world. We start with what matters to your people and where AI could actually help.

And the conversation doesn’t end when I leave the stage. You get the presentation deck and practical resources to keep exploring and put what you’ve learned to work.

Training

Practical workshops that help teams use AI thoughtfully and confidently.

Explore training

Let’s make this practical. Hands-on workshops tailored to your team, the work you do and the questions you’re bringing. We explore useful ways to work with AI while keeping your own judgment in the conversation.

Explore advisory

I track the AI landscape every day, so we can focus on what matters for your organization. Together, we look at where AI could help, what deserves caution and which next steps make sense for your people and priorities.
