From Gut Checks to Guardrails: Deploying Trustworthy AI for Marketing QA

Brighton, October 2026

Marketing teams still rely on “gut checks” the habit of manually verifying campaign numbers, cross-checking reports, and questioning whether the data is right. But as AI moves from tools to teammates, we need guardrails, not gut feelings.

This talk explores how deployed AI systems can continuously monitor marketing data for accuracy, consistency, and outliers while maintaining human oversight and governance. We walk through how to deploy autonomous QA agents that detect patterns, insights and scale that was thought previously impossible .

You’ll learn what it takes to build trust in AI-driven analytics: designing feedback loops, measuring AI confidence, and ensuring your “invisible analysts” stay accountable.

Maximise integrity, minimise hallucination

Brighton, October 2026

Agents are already reading your site and taking action on what they think you mean. The problem is that when your content leaves room for interpretation, a language model doesn't stop and ask. As a result fills this gap with whatever it deems most plausible - then responds with total confidence. These hallucinations are then attached to your brand, compounding throughout the session. Wrong answers are reiterated, then baked into the next round of model training where you have little to no control.

The solution lies at the data layer. Accuracy is favoured over scale, and maximising it is a job that already belongs to SEOs. This session covers why ambiguity is the new visibility problem, and how to remove the ambiguity before an agent does it for you.
