  • Toju, I was in the crowd for last week's PA Consulting address. I didn't get a chance to chat to you but thought I would say thank you and I found it fascinating - particularly your assessment of the global population and their lack of access to AI and other evolving technologies. This rings so true to many of the places that I have served, if only we could have connected with the populations we were trying to influence - what a different outlook that could have given our time in those places. I am still reflecting and working out what to implement in my organisation from the event…

    Simon Bedford-Smith, Lt Col, British Army

  • Wow, that was a great session. This is the first time I've heard of this. I've never thought of these issues before.

    Umair Zaffar, CEO SIFAMO

  • The presentation was incredibly informative—I learned so much about AI from Toju Duke Item

    Janice King, Genius Software Solutions

  • We would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your insightful and thought-provoking session during our Black History Month Speaker Series yesterday. Your discussion about AI’s impact on black/minority talent sourcing, job retention/promotion, financial inclusion, and education was both illuminating and inspiring, and was very well received by our audience. The perspective you shared on how technology can potentially be used to achieve equitable outcomes is already sparking meaningful dialogues and reinforcing the importance of intentionality during the design stages of our AI tools.

    The Black Colleagues Initiative at MIO Partners

  • "Wow, what an awesome event! I learned so much in just that little bit of time. Toju was such a powerhouse, and her career trajectory is inspiring.”

    Nicholas Hurdoyal

  • Toju Duke, thank you for intentionally shedding light on what would otherwise be a scaring evolution in technology. AI is here to stay, those who learn to understand it can steer in the right direction that’s beneficial for all.

    Matilda Okufi

  • It was great to hear your panel talk at Cambridge Tech Week!

    Katrina Young

    Frazer Lloyd-Davies

  • Toju Duke just wrapped up an insightful presentation at BrightonSEO on "The New Era: Embracing AI Technologies in Marketing." Toju provided an overview of the current market picture of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and the Global AI Adoption Rate Year Over Year..

    Nikola Minkov

  • What a way to finish the SEO conference with a keynote from Toju Duke 🔥

    Radina Ivanova

  • I just want to say a big thank you to Scottish AI Alliance for an informative and inspiring couple of days at the #scotaisummit 2023. Toju Duke’s keynote on building responsibility in an AI-driven world was one of the highlights of the event. She spoke passionately about the Fourth Industrial Revolution that we are currently observing with the rise of AI, and how we must manage this rise to ensure corporate accountability.

    John Rodigan

  • Thanks so much again for joining the AI Assurance Roundtable! Your comments were well received and sparked lots of reflection and discussion!

    Thorsten Jelinek

  • What a pleasure having you yesterday. Could have listened to you for the whole 30 minutes. Such insightful remarks you delivered in a measured, authoritative manner.

    Sal Mohammed

  • I was in the audience for your session at DMA, and I have to say found it probably the most insightful and inspiring of the whole event. Pointing out that over 60% of people worry about trusting AI systems right now despite the hype, and advocating a more holistic approach to its use, mindful of privacy, energy consumption and data leakage is in my opinion the only responsible way forward... Keep up the good work!
