Book Anna Danes for your event
Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry at an unprecedented pace, creating new opportunities while introducing complex ethical challenges. Anna Danes helps organisations navigate this new reality by making AI ethics practical, accessible and actionable. Her keynotes demonstrate how businesses can innovate with confidence while ensuring responsible AI remains embedded throughout their organisation.
As a Certified Data and AI Ethicist, freelancer, ethical AI consultant and TEDx speaker, Anna combines strategic thinking with hands-on experience from working directly with organisations implementing AI technologies. She believes ethics should not be treated as an afterthought or compliance exercise but should become a fundamental part of technology development, organisational culture and decision-making.
Her presentations inspire leaders, technology professionals and employees to view AI through both a business and human perspective, creating long-term value while reducing ethical, operational and reputational risks.
AI ethics in practice
Anna has worked with organisations since 2019 as a freelance AI ethicist, helping companies develop practical methods and frameworks for responsible AI adoption. Her consulting experience includes organisations such as Rhite and The Good AI, where she has supported businesses in identifying and minimising the risks associated with AI development and implementation.
Throughout her career, Anna has collaborated closely with leadership teams, product developers and engineers responsible for driving innovation and organisational transformation. This gives her a practical understanding of the challenges businesses face when integrating ethics into fast-moving technology environments.
Her previous roles further strengthen this perspective. She has served as a member of the Ethics and Responsibility Department at OdiseIA, AI Ethics Expert for Ethical Intelligence Associates and Associate Professor of AI Ethics at Human Business School. These experiences allow her to translate complex ethical concepts into practical solutions that organisations can apply immediately.
Rather than focusing solely on theory, Anna equips audiences with concrete strategies that help organisations:
- Build responsible AI governance frameworks
- Reduce ethical and operational risks
- Align AI initiatives with organisational values
- Create greater trust among customers, employees and stakeholders
- Support innovation without compromising accountability
Her keynotes provide practical guidance regardless of whether an organisation is just beginning its AI journey or already integrating advanced AI solutions into its operations.
The future of work and human-AI collaboration
Alongside AI ethics, Anna is widely recognised for her expertise on the future of work. She explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping workplace dynamics, employee roles, organisational structures and leadership responsibilities.
As AI continues to automate routine tasks and augment human capabilities, organisations face important questions about culture, collaboration and workforce development. Anna helps businesses understand how to prepare for these changes while ensuring people remain at the centre of technological transformation.
Drawing on her extensive leadership experience, she explains how organisations can successfully navigate AI-driven change by creating cultures that encourage responsible innovation and meaningful collaboration between humans and intelligent technologies.
Her experience as co-founder and former CEO of Ricaris Have a Nice Day, where she also served as Chief Innovation Officer and now remains an advisor and board member, provides valuable insight into innovation, entrepreneurship and organisational development. She is also the co-founder of Managing Virtual Teams and previously worked as Operations Manager and Chief of Staff for Molina Visuals, adding further practical experience in leadership and business transformation.
This combination of entrepreneurial, operational and ethical expertise enables Anna to connect strategic AI discussions with the everyday realities organisations face.

Today, Anna delivers keynote presentations for companies, universities and organisations across Europe and the United States, helping audiences understand how ethical AI can become a competitive advantage rather than a limitation.
