Kira Sjöberg
Kira is a Scandinavian business designer, AI literacy advocate, and keynote speaker working at the intersection of technology, psychology, and organisational change. With expertise in data and AI utilisation from a non-technical perspective, and a deep understanding of human behaviour, she equips leaders and teams with the skills, mindset, and confidence to navigate the AI era with clarity and purpose.
As founder of GOODIN, a start-up specialising in Business Intelligence, AI, and data/AI literacy development, Kira champions the “human layer” of AI - ensuring that technological adoption is matched by ethical responsibility, emotional intelligence, cultural readiness, and advanced AI and data literacy skills.
A sought-after speaker, adviser, and coach, she inspires audiences to see AI not as a threat, but as a partner in creativity, problem-solving, and decision-making. Kira believes the future belongs to organisations that invest equally in technology and people, creating workplaces where human potential and AI capabilities grow together.

KIRA'S TALK
AI will shape the future, but only if we shape it first. At the core of successful AI adoption is the human layer: the trust, culture, and perspective leaders bring to technology. This layer determines whether AI works for people, or the other way around.
In this talk, Kira will take leaders beyond the hype to explore the real mechanics of AI and data literacy. She will unpack what’s missing in the data that fuels AI, the filters it passes through, and how meaning gets lost in translation between humans and machines. She’ll explore why different disciplines, from engineering to the humanities, start with different baselines of understanding, and how unconscious biases and assumed knowledge can quietly undermine AI adoption.
You’ll leave with a clear framework for questioning AI outputs, a deeper appreciation for the cultural side of technology, and one practical action to strengthen your organisation’s AI literacy starting tomorrow.
