• Critical Thinking in the Age of AI

    Keynote Speaker

    Challenging minds to shape technology that serves humanity.

    STEPHANIE LEHUGER

    Recognized as 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics™ 2025.

  • I’m a keynote speaker and published philosopher, named one of the 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics and dedicated to shaping technology that serves humanity. My talks dive into the big questions: AI ethics, critical thinking, and the future we want to create.

    What sets my perspective apart is that I don’t just think about responsible AI, I build with it. For a decade I’ve launched and scaled AI for social impact in high-growth tech environments, from AI-powered public services at Bayes Impact to Rogervoice's US launch, where AI captions calls in real time so deaf and hard-of-hearing people can use the phone like anyone else. From tech startups to the UN, NGOs, and the European Commission, where I evaluated AI projects, I bring diverse perspectives to complex challenges across several continents.

    With academic roots spanning business, philosophy, computer science, and public policy, I bridge disciplines to inspire action. As an author and host of The French Philosopher podcast, I empower leaders and individuals to navigate AI’s ethical dilemmas thoughtfully and boldly. Let’s build a future where innovation meets integrity.
