Clara Durodié
AI Ethics Leader, Authority on Trust, Governance & Adoption
Clara Durodié works with leaders facing a critical AI challenge: not what intelligent systems can do, but whether people will trust them enough to use them. An AI ethics leader and founder, she focuses on the leadership decisions that determine whether AI initiatives gain legitimacy or quietly fail despite technical capability.
Her work examines why AI adoption breaks down inside organisations, through opacity, unmanaged bias, weak accountability, and unclear ownership. Clara helps boards and executives understand that trust is not a communications issue, but the outcome of governance choices, design decisions, and leadership responsibility taken early. Her perspective connects AI strategy with organisational credibility, risk, and long-term value.
Her talks are precise, pragmatic, and executive in tone. They focus on how leaders deploy AI in ways that stand up to scrutiny, earn confidence, and scale responsibly.
