Toju Duke
Toju Duke helps organisations build AI systems people can trust. A responsible AI speaker and former Google programme manager, she advises governments on AI policy and is the author of Building Responsible AI Algorithms.
Toju Duke works where artificial intelligence meets accountability, helping organisations build and deploy AI systems that stand up to scrutiny.
She spent ten years at Google, the last three as a Programme Manager on Responsible AI, running programmes across product and research teams with a focus on large-scale models. She founded Diverse AI, a community interest organisation supporting underrepresented groups in the field, and is founder and CEO of Bedrock AI. She wrote Building Responsible AI Algorithms and Responsible AI in Practice.
Twenty years across advertising, retail, the not-for-profit sector, and tech shape how Toju approaches AI governance. She translates policy language into decisions teams can act on, covering where bias enters a model, what documentation regulators expect, and how to run a review process that keeps product work moving. She advises governments on Responsible AI strategy and speaks at global governmental events.
Audiences leave with a working understanding of how large-scale models fail, a practical view of what responsible AI looks like inside a commercial organisation, and a clearer sense of which decisions sit with engineers and which sit with leadership.
Book Toju for a grounded view of AI responsibility from someone who built the processes.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
