Dr Agnieszka Piotrowska is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, trained psychologist, educator and international speaker whose work explores artificial intelligence, intimacy and human relationships. She is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and the author of AI Intimacy and Psychoanalysis, published by Routledge.
Agnieszka has delivered two TEDx talks and spoken at major academic, cultural and professional events internationally, including a keynote for approximately 1,000 delegates at the IAPP AI Governance Global conference in Dublin. She has also appeared on the BBC, Sky News and Times Radio. Her speaking style combines serious expertise with storytelling, film, popular culture and accessible real-world examples.
Her school sessions examine how conversational AI is changing learning, creativity, relationships and young people’s emotional lives. Rather than approaching AI through moral panic or presenting it simply as another classroom tool, she helps students understand why systems such as ChatGPT can feel intelligent, responsive and personal. Her talks explore companionship, privacy, misinformation, emotional dependence and the importance of recognising when AI begins to replace rather than support human connection.
Her student talk, Something Real Is Happening, gives young people a language for experiences many are already having but rarely discuss. Her staff session, Beyond the Ban, considers AI as a safeguarding and relational issue as well as a question of academic integrity. It explores why prohibition alone is unlikely to work and how teachers can begin sensitive conversations without judgement or alarm.
Sessions can be delivered as assemblies, interactive workshops, staff CPD or a combined whole-school AI day. Her approach is psychologically informed, practical and hopeful.
