# Speaking

Jonathan McGuinness speaks on what the EU AI Act actually requires, what boards should be asking, and what AI genuinely does at work — in plain language. Not a vendor pitch. Not a scare story.

Available for conferences, corporate events, board sessions, and industry days. Delivered in English or Irish (Gaeilge).

## Talks

### The EU AI Act — What Your Organisation Must Do Now
The staff-training duty, risk classification, and what organisations need to show before enforcement. Plain language, no jargon.

### AI Governance for Boards — The Director's Briefing
What directors are personally on the hook for, what oversight should look like, and the ten questions every board should ask management.

### AI at Work — What It Actually Does
Practical, honest demonstration of what AI tools can and can't do at work. Built around real use cases, not hype.

### AI Literacy — Meeting the EU AI Act's Training Duty
How to structure a training programme that meets Article 4 — by role, with records, and built to refresh.
