Speaking & Workshops
AI, Neurodiversity, and the Psychosocial Risk Nobody's Managing
Murray keynotes on what happens when the biggest technology shift in a generation collides with the way real human brains actually work. Not abstract policy — built from lived experience, real data, and a decade of designing for large audiences.
Every Australian employer is now legally required to manage psychosocial hazards in the workplace. Nobody is thinking about AI as a psychosocial hazard yet. Murray is one of the few people connecting these dots — and he has the assessment tools to back it up.
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.
Workshops & Enterprise
AI-Readiness and Psychosocial Risk
Half-day workshop · Leadership teamsYour people are already using AI. Some are thriving. Some are quietly drowning. This workshop maps the cognitive diversity in your leadership team and builds a framework for deploying AI that doesn’t create the psychosocial hazards you’re now legally required to manage.
Team Assessment Deployment
Assessment + facilitated debrief · Teams of 50–500+Deploy the boundary permeability assessment across your team. Get aggregated insights into cognitive diversity patterns, identify who’s most at risk from AI-driven cognitive capture, and build scaffolding that works for every brain type.
Cognitive Diversity Audit + AI Adoption Strategy
Engagement · EnterpriseA structured audit of how your workforce’s cognitive architecture intersects with your AI adoption roadmap. Five dimensions of boundary permeability, one dashboard, and a strategy that turns cognitive diversity from a compliance checkbox into a competitive advantage.
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.
What people say
“Murray doesn’t just talk about AI and neurodiversity — he’s lived both sides of it, and that comes through on stage. The room was completely still. I haven’t seen an audience respond like that in a long time.”
“He reframes the AI conversation in a way that makes you feel something, not just think something. Our leadership team was still talking about his session a week later.”
“Murray made our team see AI risk as a people problem, not a tech problem. Within a month we’d changed how we were rolling out AI tools across the company.”
“The boundary assessment he ran with our group surfaced patterns nobody had language for before. People were coming up to me afterwards saying it was the most useful session we’d run all year.”
“I walked in thinking this was about AI. I walked out thinking it was about my team. That shift is what makes Murray different from every other speaker on this circuit.”
“He has this way of making complex cognitive science feel like a conversation you’d have at a pub. Deeply researched, genuinely funny, and impossible to ignore.”
