AI Conference Speaker & Thought Leader — Dr. Eva-Marie Muller-Stuler

Selected Topics

Five talks for boards, executives, and institutional leaders.

AI Strategy and Board Oversight

Boards make better decisions about AI when they can see real cost, real risk, and real time horizons before the hype catches up to them. Drawn from Dr Eva's work as Former CTO for AI, IBM Middle East & Africa, this talk gives boards the questions they should be asking — and the ones their executives are not.

ii.

Operational AI and Production Reality

Most AI value is won or lost not in the model, but in the system around it. Drawing on a decade leading AI in production at IBM, EY, and KPMG, this session shows leaders why so many AI programmes stall after pilot — and what it actually takes to scale without losing control.

iii.

AI Governance, Risk, and Accountability

Genuine AI governance looks nothing like the responsible-AI theatre most organisations have settled for. Built from Dr Eva's board work at The Future Society and PVBLIC Foundation, and her enterprise leadership across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, this talk gives executives a working model for control, auditability, and accountable oversight.

iv.

National AI Capability and Sovereign Readiness

Serious national AI capability is built deliberately, with sovereign data, talent, infrastructure, and governance treated as one programme rather than five. Informed by Dr Eva's work as Former Lead Partner, Data & AI, EY MENA, on national-scale AI in the Middle East, this talk is for governments, ministers, and institutional leaders setting AI policy under real constraints.

AI Transformation Under Real-World Constraints

AI transformation succeeds when leaders refuse to confuse optimism with evidence. Drawing on enterprise transformation programmes Dr Eva has led across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, this session gives executives the discipline to scale AI with accountability rather than ambition alone.
