Raising AI, Reimagining Work: Building Inclusive Futures with Tech That Serves Us All

We are not just using AI — we are raising it. And how we raise our digital systems today will shape our institutions, our students, and our societies tomorrow.

In this provocative and hopeful keynote, Gry Stene — international speaker, neurospicy tech whisperer, and advocate for inclusion in innovation — explores how AI and emerging technologies are reshaping the future of work, learning, and leadership in higher education. But rather than asking what AI can do for us, Gry asks: what kind of future are we co-creating — and who is being left out?

Blending powerful storytelling, lived experience, and deep expertise in inclusive tech, Gry invites educators, IT leaders, and librarians to see themselves as good parents to the AI we’re raising — nurturing it with ethics, equity, and empathy.

You’ll explore:

• How to integrate AI in ways that enhance, not erode, belonging and connection
• Feminine strengths and diverse thinking as superpowers in digital leadership
• Real-world stories of inclusion gaps — and how we can bridge them
• Tangible ways to design tech and teams that don’t leave anyone behind

If we want tech for good, we must build cultures where everyone feels welcome, valued, and inspired. This is our opportunity — and our responsibility.
