Leader in Intelligent Work Design & AI Decision Governance
About Dr Peta Chirgwin
A leading voice on Human Authority in the Age of AI, helping organisations redesign work and decision-making for intelligent systems.
Dr Peta brings clarity to how AI and advanced technologies are understood, applied, and integrated into real-world environments, ensuring they work not just in theory, but in practice.
SPEAKING AND ADVISORY
Peta delivers keynote presentations, executive briefings, and advisory engagements for boards, leadership teams, and industry bodies navigating AI governance, workforce transformation, and the future of work.
Her perspective is distinctive because it is grounded in research rather than consulting trend. Decades spent studying how humans actually operate alongside autonomous systems in industry produced insights that cannot be found in a vendor pitch or a technology roadmap and that is what she brings to every engagement.
Speaking topics:
- The governance gap no one is measuring: what mining automation research revealed about human authority in AI-enabled systems
- Human Authority-Centred Work Design: the methodology for keeping humans meaningfully in control
- The Human Authority Index: a scored standard for boards and regulators who need evidence, not assurance
- Decision authority in the age of AI: who is actually accountable when a machine influences the outcome
- The psychosocial cost of automation: what leaders are not yet measuring and why it matters
- Leadership in changing environments
- Shaping the workforce of the future
