AI adoption that holds up in practice.
For public sector teams and business leaders.
Everyone knows what AI can give you. I work on what we're giving to it in return.
I'm Sonya Cullington, a cyberpsychologist and digital policy advisor. My work focuses on what sustained AI use does to professional judgement, and what organisations need to put in place to protect it.
I work with two audiences.
Public sector teams accountable for AI decisions, who need governance, advisory, and professional development that hold up in real delivery conditions.
Business leaders bringing AI into their organisations, who need a clear-eyed view of what the technology can do, what it costs in human terms, and how to roll it out without eroding the judgement of the people doing the work.
Confident AI use is not the same as competent AI use. The first is about access. The second is about judgement. Most adoption programmes assume one leads to the other. It doesn't.
That gap is what I work on.
For NHS and public sector teams
Advisory, training, behavioural governance design, and the AI Judgement Integrity Framework.
For business leaders
Briefings, senior team sessions, and in-house programmes on AI adoption that works in practice.
“Your session was fabulous. I've had such amazing feedback on how inspired the team came away from it. In particular, we really appreciated how practical you made it, and we now have lots of ideas to use AI in ways which we hadn't considered.”
