Lollie Mancey is one of Ireland’s most compelling voices at the intersection of humanity and technology. An anthropologist, futurist, and AI ethicist, she explores how culture and innovation shape the future of work, leadership, and our emotional relationships with artificial intelligence.
She is a regular media commentator and co-host of the Futureville (Season 2), and was named one of the Inspiring Women in STEM 2024 by Silicon Republic. As Programme Director at the UCD Innovation Academy, she collaborates with organizations such as NASA and Mastercard, helping leaders develop responsible, human-centered strategies for the AI era.
Known for her electrifying stage presence, Lollie delivers a clear message: the future is not just a question of technology-it is a question of what kind of people we choose to become.
She doesn’t feel - but she knows exactly how I feel.
Is it just an algorithm… or the beginning of entirely new kinds of relationships?
In her Greencajt keynote, Lollie Mancey explores the moment when artificial intelligence becomes more than a tool-a conversational partner, a companion, perhaps even a mirror. Through a live conversation with the responsible AI companion Anya, she raises questions that are no longer science fiction: can a machine show care, hold values, and understand boundaries, emotions, and responsibility?
In a time of climate anxiety and growing distrust in technology, this talk offers a different vision - AI designed with care, ethics, and purpose. Technology that can be good for both people and the planet.
