TESTIMONIALS
Shruthi Suresh, Visual Brand Designer
I thoroughly enjoyed her talk on the topic of AI Ethics & Generative AI. She presented us with a highly informative and in-depth perspective on various industries that AI is currently disrupting including Fashion, architecture, packaging, visual merchandising, and content generation. We were able to understand the implications of AI, both the pros and the cons of it, and reflect on our standpoint as creative professionals. I look forward to attending more thought-provoking talks with Francesa.

I saw Franki give a fascinating presentation at Data Summit in Edinburgh, showing how many topics and industries that I had thought disparate are already overlapping due to generative AI. She provided an engaging glimpse into the near future, where interconnected and hyper-personalised content is set to transform how we interact with movies, advertisements and gaming.
