Dr. Lollie Mancey is one of Ireland’s most powerful 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 RTÉ’s show Futureville (season 2), and Silicon Republic named her one of the Inspiring Women in STEM 2024. As Programme Director of 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 only about technology—it is about the 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 keynote at Greencajt, Dr. Lollie Mancey explores the moment when artificial intelligence becomes more than a tool—a conversation partner, a companion, perhaps even a mirror. Through a live dialogue with a responsible AI companion named 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 of 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.
