Psychopathia Machinalis is the clinical research framework Nell Watson developed to diagnose and classify pathological behaviors in artificial intelligence systems, applying the rigor of psychiatric diagnostic taxonomy to AI behavior. The framework lets engineers, executives, and policymakers describe AI failures with precision rather than the usual vague categories of bias or hallucination. In keynotes, Nell uses the framework to walk audiences through real AI deployments that went wrong, naming the specific behavioral pathology in each case. For technical audiences, the depth is satisfying; for executive audiences, the framework provides a vocabulary for the conversations they need to have with their CTOs and risk teams about AI safety.
Nell Watson chairs the IEEE Human-AI Interaction committee (since 2022), and has served as Chair and Vice-Chair of the IEEE ECPAIS Transparency Experts Focus Group and the P7001 Transparency of Autonomous Systems committee on AI Ethics and Safety. She holds the title of IEEE AI Ethics Maestro, a distinction held by only a handful of individuals worldwide. She is also President of EURAIO, the European Responsible Artificial Intelligence Office, and serves as Executive Consultant on philosophical matters for Apple. For audiences in regulated industries, governance functions, or government agencies, those credentials make her keynotes uniquely authoritative on AI ethics, safety standards, and responsible deployment.

I just wanted to express my appreciation for having the opportunity to have Alex Honnold speak to my senior leadership group this morning.

Thank you for all you did with booking Magic Johnson and being on site with him. It was so refreshing meeting you in person and having the service you provided. That was an invaluable experience for me and my team and I cannot thank you enough. Magic was amazing – there could not have been a better fit for our conference. Honestly, Mr. Johnson and Mel Robbins complemented each other better than I could have ever dreamt. The two of them made our conference.
