In Conversation with Dr Nici Sweaney - Embracing AI with Practical Tips to Level Up
Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, how decisions get made and how leaders spend their time. For many professionals, though, it still feels either overhyped or out of reach. The real question isn't whether to engage with AI. It's how to do it well: confidently, ethically and in ways that make a real difference to your work.
We're delighted to welcome Dr Nici Sweaney, Founder of Ai Her Way, to the UpSkill Series.
Nici spent nearly two decades as an academic scientist and data strategist, working with organisations such as the UN and the World Bank, before founding Ai Her Way in 2023. Since then, she has helped more than 60 organisations, including global NGOs, governments and values-led businesses, to put AI to work. She is also a passionate advocate for making sure women help shape these tools rather than being left behind by them.
