Drawing on cutting-edge research and insights from The Silence Paradox, Chris explores why silence, reflection, and meaningful conversation are becoming increasingly rare, and how AI is challenging long-held assumptions about connection, loneliness, and what it means to be human. This talk offers a hopeful perspective on designing technology that strengthens, rather than replaces, our humanity.Your Speaker:Chris Rhyss is a PhD researcher at the Queensland University of Technology exploring how conversational AI is reshaping human connection, wellbeing, and the way we relate to ourselves and each other. A former Army Combat Engineer and Peacekeeper, his work sits at the intersection of technology, psychology, and design, with a focus on building AI that supports people without replacing human relationships. Chris is also the author of The Silence Paradox, which explores why our greatest insights often emerge when we create space for reflection rather than constant distraction.Agenda🕑: 06:30 PMDoors open and arrival🕑: 07:00 PMSpeaker starts
