Two upcoming talks on AI

09.58, Thursday 5 Jun 2025

I have two talks and a podcast to tell you about.

Designing with AI 2025, Rosenfeld Media

10-11 June, online.

Two days on the responsible and innovative uses of gen-AI, for

… UX designers, researchers, writers, and other conscientious product people who are excited by the potential benefits AI can bring to their work, but worry that thoughtless AI usage can lead to unanticipated and potentially dire consequences.

Rosenfeld run bulletproof virtual conferences with thoughtful networking and co-watching cohorts.

I’m closing out day 2 talking about things I’ve made and looking at where that takes us.

Rethink AI, Kyndryl and Wired.

20 June, online.

A tight 2 hours and 15 minutes on AI and the future of business, and a load of great speakers.

I’m digging into AI agents, extrapolating to the furthest consequences of what agentic, autonomous software could mean, and bringing it back to how business leaders should respond today.

This is rare for me: a business audience rather than designers and technologists. I’m looking forward to it.

Podcast: The Rosenfeld Review

4 June, listen now.

Lou Rosenfeld invited me on his podcast ahead of Designing with AI 2025 and it went out yesterday.

I had a lot of fun – I remember it being pretty chaotic, maybe a little too much coffee that day haha, and we could have gone on for hours.

Fortunately Lou is a pro, and you can get the 30 minute edit on weak signals, epistemic journeys, adaptive design and vibe coding (phew) wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen now: AI and Other Strange Design Materials with Matt Webb (Soundcloud).


I’ve updated my speaking page over at Acts Not Facts. There are links to watch/listen to anything that was recorded.
