About this event
A Manchester Statistical Society evening talk asking not just what AI can do, but what it should do — and how, and for whom — in an age where AI permeates every system. Speaker Stuart Coulson, Principal Cyber Security Service Manager at a global telecoms firm and founder of HiddenText, strips away the jargon and challenges lazy thinking with 20+ years of turning complexity into clarity. Recognised as Cyber Mentor of the Year (2023) and a Top 50 Tech Leader (2025). A thought-provoking session for anyone weighing the practical and ethical realities of AI adoption.
