What audiences and organisers say
A visionary leader in AI ethics and strategy. Eleanor guided us through the bigger picture - the ethics of companies using AI, the women who’ve been penalised for challenging the tech industry and the ongoing work to recognise and counter biases in AI to ensure it shifts power in meaningful ways.

I’m good at AI. There I said it Dr Eleanor Drage! Such a thought provoking, often cerebral and incredibly fun lunch with great company today.
- Marketing Director, JAA media
Absolutely loved your talk yesterday, Dr Eleanor Drage! I shared the Namma Yatri story and the Riyadh AI charter with my team. You provided such an invaluable and distinct perspective that has shifted how I view AI - especially with the power shift vs. bias removal argument. Loved every minute of your stage time. Thank you!

It was a great pleasure to talk to Dr Eleanor Drage for Intelligence Squared about what we can actually do to get AI right. The biggest lightbulb moment for me, listening to Eleanor talk, is that the hype and the doom often originate from the same people. It's often the AI Labs themselves that talk about the looming dangers their products pose. Why? Well, sometimes it's marketing. The doom is the hype. Maybe I'm naive, but i'd never really twigged that before.
