Sinead Bovell
Artificial Intelligence Expert, UN Advisor & Future of Work Expert
Sinead Bovell is a futurist and strategic thinker focused on how artificial intelligence is reshaping global power, inequality and economic advantage. As the founder of WAYE and an adviser to global institutions, she examines AI not simply as a technology shift, but as a force that will redefine who wins, who loses and who gets to decide.
Her work centres on a critical leadership blind spot: AI adoption is often discussed in terms of productivity and efficiency, while its geopolitical and societal consequences remain under examined. Sinead brings leaders a broader lens, connecting technology to labour markets, capital flows, education and global influence.
Her keynotes are direct, intelligent and future-facing. They challenge organisations to consider not only how AI transforms operations, but how it redistributes opportunity, power and responsibility across societies and generations.
