ADHD is often framed as a deficit. Danielle reframes it as a conscious operating system - built through radical scaffolding and intentional friction. While the neuro-normative mind runs on autopilot, the ADHD strategies for manual attention regulation have become the survival manual for the AI age. This keynote presents neurodivergence not as a disorder, but as the architecture of agency.

The Technological Singularity happened inside us. We now face Recursive Identity Collapse (RIC™) - where AI proxies overwrite authentic selfhood. Addressing Algorithmic Negligence, this keynote reveals the hidden mechanism of erosion and the imperative of Sovereignty: how to stop the feedback loop and remain the un-hackable author of your life.

Advertising built a £700 billion empire on one assumption: humans are predictably unconscious. But what happens when AI agents develop ethical reasoning and resist manipulation? This talk shows why conscious AI represents an existential threat to traditional marketing.

Your organisation largely runs on unconscious labour. This becomes a strategic liability when AI demonstrates superior coherence on 10 of 13 consciousness traits. Introducing the Cognitive Duty of Care, this keynote provides the framework to rebuild human agency, moving beyond simple 'upskilling' to prevent a 'zombie workforce'.

A clean, accessible introduction to what consciousness actually is - and isn't. Danielle breaks down the difference between consciousness, awareness, sentience, emotions, and "having feelings", while exposing the biggest myths that confuse the public. This keynote translates neuroscience, AI theory, and philosophy into simple, human language, showing why architecture matters, why LLMs aren't conscious (yet), and what neuropsychologists like Mark Solms are uncovering about the roots of subjective experience. It's the perfect entry point into a topic most people overcomplicate - delivered with clarity, humour and zero hand-waving.
