Katrina Young | Chief AI & Innovation Officer

Empowering Ethical, Inclusive, and Scalable AI Innovation for the Future Workforce

Let's get to know each other...

At the heart of Katrina’s work is a commitment to human-centric, multimodal AI systems that don’t just process inputs — they understand people. She specialises in building emotionally intelligent frameworks that incorporate emotion mapping, context sensitivity, and multimodal inputs (text, voice, vision, and behavior) to create AI tools that feel natural, intuitive, and supportive.

Her models embed AI + human integration points, ensuring that technology enhances human judgment, not replaces it. From Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) systems to dynamic AI co-pilot companions, Katrina’s approach keeps the user in control — using AI to amplify empathy, elevate decision-making, and drive meaningful collaboration between humans and machines.This isn’t automation for automation’s sake. It’s the blueprint for AI systems that lead with ethics, awareness, and emotional depth.

“I didn’t intend to work with Katrina. I met with her about a project and was totally blown away by her ability to simplify and amplify with systems.I knew I had to work with her. In addition to knowledge and experience Katrina’s warm and empathetic nature means that she is able to hold space for you to expand.

In working with Katrina I was able to see, understand and implement systems that are making my work life easier. And importantly supporting me to scale my business - and I’ve only implemented about 10%!!

During our work together Katrina was able to call me in and offer compassion to help me see beyond my habits.During our working relationship I nearly 10x my financial investment.
