Speaking
AI, Neurodiversity, and the Design Flaw Nobody's Noticed
Murray keynotes on what happens when the biggest technology shift in a generation collides with the way real human brains actually work. It's not an abstract policy conversation — it's built from lived experience, real data, and a decade of designing for large audiences.
Keynote Topics
I Experienced AI Psychosis First-Hand
What happens when a neurodivergent brain meets the most powerful cognitive tool ever built — without guardrails? Murray went from AI sceptic to AI developer in three months, then nearly lost himself in the process. This is the talk conference organisers say their audience won’t stop talking about.
The Design Flaw Nobody’s Noticed
Every AI tool learns from you. None of them learn for you. Murray unpacks the growing gap between how technology expects people to think and how they actually do — and why organisations that ignore this will lose their best people first.
Neurodiversity as Competitive Advantage in the AI Age
The same cognitive patterns that get called ‘disorder’ in a classroom become superpowers in an AI-augmented workplace. Murray draws on lived experience, JPMorgan and SAP data, and his own journey from diagnosis to founder to show why neurodivergent minds aren’t a niche concern — they’re the canary in the coal mine for the entire workforce.
A decade of stages
Murray spent seven years (2012–2019) designing, hosting, and curating Australia's largest tech and innovation events. He co-founded Myriad Festival — raising $4.5M, chartering a 747 from San Francisco, and building stages that featured speakers from NASA, Microsoft, Google, and Adobe. He worked with Pause Fest and Southstart, and curated pitch programmes for state and federal governments.
He knows how to hold a room, and he knows what it takes to send an audience home thinking differently.
