Welcome and event introduction
Why is an AI talking to me? by Oliver Kristensen
Exploring the shift of voice AI from predictive agents like “Siri” to the future of autonomous agents. Understanding the differences between market boom and hype, to simplifying the technical principles needed to achieve success to make voice AI feel truly human. Demonstrating gold standard tools and how you can create AI that sounds more human than some of your coworkers. Uncovering the importance of adoption strategies to drive loyalty and efficiencies without losing human connection. Closing on the future predictions and scenarios of voice AI from invisible UI to the development of multimodal systems for businesses and end users.

As AI systems make faster and more complex decisions, the real risk is not what machines can do, but what humans quietly stop doing. My talk explores where AI should support judgment, where it should never replace it, and why keeping humans in the loop is an ethical, operational, and commercial necessity. Through real-world examples, it shows how organisations can use AI to scale intelligence without surrendering responsibility, trust, or human agency.
