RSVP for Thursday, May 29th
In a world where technology, social media and data overload continuously reshape how we think and behave, understanding human behaviour has never been more complex – or more critical.
As product teams face increasing pressure to do more with less, many are turning to AI to speed up research, reduce synthesis fatigue and make sense of the chaos.
But can AI truly decode human nuance? When should we lean on it? When should we trust our instincts?
This talk explores the messy middle ground between automation and intuition. We’ll discuss
- framing sharper research questions
- recognise where AI can help – and when it can’t
- practice synthesis techniques that balance speed with depth
- impact of cognitive bias, interview quality & social complexity
- why getting closer to real insight today requires both human empathy and machine logic
This conversation will give you practical tools to make your research smarter, more meaningful and won’t lose the humanity behind the data.
