01 About

Why work with me.

Amelia Bentley speaking at an AI event in Wellington

Amelia Bentley Wellington · Aotearoa

“

AI should work for everyone. Not just the people who built it.

That means the small business owner who doesn't know where to start. The government team navigating new territory. The NGO doing vital work with limited resources. AI was built for all of them. They just haven't been shown that yet.

Amelia Bentley

01 Background

Data science meets psychology.

AI is built on data but succeeds or fails because of people. I understand both.

02 Experience

I've done this before.

AI strategy, training, and policy built from scratch for teams across NZ & AU. Real work, real results.

03 Community & Thought Leadership

In the room and in the conversation.

Helping shape an AI future that works for all of Aotearoa.

04 Mission

Why I do this.

I want New Zealand to get AI right. More people understanding it. More diverse voices shaping it.

02 Who this is for

04 What people say

Don't take my word for it.

02
Innovation
& approach

She saw an opportunity to bring AI into how we work and ran with it, not in a dry or technical way, but in a way that got people genuinely excited. She challenged the team to think differently and get ahead of risks before they became problems. That kind of proactive thinking is exactly what innovation looks like.
