About This Event
Tools are getting smarter. Learn how to stay in the driving seat as AI becomes part of your data workflow.AI can speed up your data work. But it can't tell your story for you.There's a growing tension in data work right now: AI is moving fast, promises are flying, and somewhere in the middle, the human context that makes data meaningful is getting lost.Join Tey Bannerman (AI Strategy & Product Design Leader, ex-McKinsey) and Duncan Clark (Flourish CEO, Canva EMEA GM) as they explore what it actually takes to build trust through data in an AI-driven world.We'll dig into the real questions you might be grappling with: how to layer AI into your workflow without losing your editorial voice, what "good" data storytelling looks like right now, and how the growing backlash against AI is reshaping how audiences engage with data.You'll come away with:✔️ Ideas for using AI in your data workflow, without letting it take over the story✔️ Real examples of human-centred data storytelling✔️ Practical thinking on AI, trust, and what great looks like right nowThis session is for:🎯 Professionals navigating how to use AI without losing their editorial voice🎯 Anyone responsible for presenting insights to non-technical stakeholders🎯 Teams using Flourish or other data visualization tools looking for inspiration
