Keynote Presentation on Day 2, October 1st!

The KWSQA Board is proud to announce Damian Synadinos will present this year’s Keynote, In prAIse of Skepticism.

Everything starts with trust. It influences our personal and professional relationships, leadership abilities, innovation, collaboration, business stability, and much more. Misplaced trust—trusting the wrong amount, at the wrong time, or the wrong person—can have significant negative consequences, often stemming from false information.

In today’s fast-paced world, we are inundated with information, including a lot of bad information. But how can we recognize and avoid it? And how can we determine when and how much trust is appropriate? With healthy skepticism!

Skepticism is often misunderstood as disbelief or cynicism, but it’s actually a neutral stance that suspends belief until justified evidence is available. Healthy skepticism helps us distinguish between good and bad information and build or restore trust.

Developing healthy skepticism involves fact-checking, being aware of biases, asking good questions, and more. This is especially relevant with the rise of Artificial Intelligence, a powerful yet complex technology. Understanding AI and applying healthy skepticism can help us use it effectively and safely.

Join me as I explore trust, promote healthy skepticism, offer ways to develop a skeptical mindset, and show how these ideas apply to AI and other contexts by providing practical tips to better navigate our world.
