AI in Safety-Critical Systems: The Human Override Problem
Bristol's aerospace sector knows that trust in a system must be earned through rigorous testing, transparency, and the ability to intervene. When AI enters safety-critical work, many organizations assume the same standards apply. They do not. AI systems can fail in ways that are hard to predict, difficult to explain, and impossible to override if teams have lost the knowledge to do so.
Steve's keynote addresses the real risk: organizations that automate decision-making without preserving human judgment lose the ability to correct what goes wrong. In aerospace, this is unacceptable. In financial systems, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, it is equally dangerous. The talk focuses on what it actually takes to keep humans in control.
What Your Audience Gets
This is not a talk about AI potential or adoption roadmaps. It is about the governance, capability, and culture required to use AI responsibly in complex environments. Engineers and technical leaders will hear how to structure teams so that AI augments human expertise rather than replacing it. Executives will understand the compliance and reputational risks of AI systems that lack proper human oversight.
Steve works with audiences in technology, aerospace, and regulated industries across the UK. He speaks plainly about where AI adoption fails and why. Attendees leave with a framework for embedding human judgment as a non-negotiable part of AI implementation.
