No Harm Done

Has AI earned your trust, or are we being exploited? Join our 90-minute game show exploring our complex relationship with AI systems. Through a TV game show structure, we'll probe whether these tools work for us or manipulate us. Challenge assumptions, share experiences, and navigate the new normal of AI mistrust together.

​

Over two competitive rounds, led by provocations from expert speakers, each laden with insight and clues, teams will answer questions that explore the trust/untrustworthiness we have with AI, as we enter the trough of disillusionment for the technology. 

​

Our speakers will share insights on AI manipulation, copyright exploitation, and design with data while you hunt for patterns in their presentations. Between rounds, we'll unpack how technology shapes behaviour from use of digital tools to wider societal adoption and whether we're users or the product being used.

​

Featured Speakers:

• Tessa Darbyshire: Responsible AI & AI Governance Manager, Accenture, U.K

• Nick Petch: Victoria University Lecturer, Manager of Strategic Design & Learning Innovation, Taungurung Land & Waters Council

• Tobias Revell: Design Futures Lead, Arup, U.K

Nick Petch is a designer, educator, and researcher exploring how organisations learn, remember, and change.
Across two decades, he has worked across film, digital, and design research — with projects recognised by the BAFTA, Oscars, and more than 20 industry awards. He’s currently completing a practice-based PhD at Monash University on Organisational Schema Theory, working in partnership with the Taungurung Land and Waters Council. Nick’s work sits at the intersection of complexity, narrative, and decolonising practice, examining how living systems make sense of themselves. Over two decades, he’s designed global learning programs, research and strategy for organisations including  LEGO, Qantas, LendLease, Deloitte, and the United Nations.  At heart, his work asks how we might learn in ways that do no harm—and create futures that remember differently.
