Thinking Further: The User Guide for AI They Never Gave You
Most of us were handed AI tools with no instructions. We type a question, take the answer and move on, rarely getting close to what these tools can actually do. In this talk, Christian Keel, author of Thinking Further: The User Guide for AI They Never Gave You, shares a practical, plain-language approach to working with AI as a thinking partner rather than a search box. Drawing on his background in psychology, consulting and building an AI-powered startup, Christian explores how to frame better questions, challenge and refine what AI gives you, and recognise where its limits lie. He will also touch on what responsible, confident AI use looks like at work and at home. Whether you are a sceptic, a casual user or already experimenting daily, you will leave with techniques you can put to use straight away.
