A memory scientist’s solution to workplace harassment | Dr Julia Shaw | TEDxLondon

After years of studying memory in the laboratory and in the courtroom, Dr Julia Shaw is using memory science and artificial intelligence to revolutionise the reporting of workplace harassment and discrimination. In this talk, she tells us how to accurately record incidents of harassment and how technology can help us answer the question of “what next?” As a psychological scientist and popular science author, Julia has spent over a decade researching police interviewing and emotional memories. When the #MeToo movement took shape she realised that there is tremendous potential for work at the intersection of harassment, memory science and technology. She co-founded Spot, a startup that uses memory science and artificial intelligence to revolutionise the reporting of workplace harassment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
