Colette Mason – AI Systems Architect: Building AI That’s Both Effective AND Defensible
If your audience is deploying AI without understanding what could go catastrophically wrong, or building AI that creates more work than it saves, Colette Mason is the speaker who fixes both problems before they cost you.
About Colette
I’ve spent four decades building systems that work for humans — from investment banking trading floors to UK government infrastructure. Now I help people make sense of AI without the hype, the doom, or the jargon.
I talk about the stuff that matters to real people and real businesses: what AI actually does well, what it gets wrong, who carries the risk, and why most of the advice out there sounds like it was written by someone who’s never had to make payroll.
I don’t do scripts. I don’t do corporate smooth. I think out loud, I’ll disagree with your other guests if they’re wrong, and I’ll say “I don’t know” when I don’t know. Audiences seem to prefer that to the alternative.
