## Biography
Dr Julia Shaw, an internationally renowned criminal psychologist, memory researcher and bestselling author, is known for her innovative and profound analyses of human memory and the nature of evil. She explains why we often have false memories and how we can optimise our memory at crucial moments. As the founder of the AI start-up SPOT, she also works at the interface of artificial and human intelligence. In her keynotes she explains, based on her own groundbreaking research and the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology, how our memory shapes our own identity and reality – and how this is changed by artificial intelligence. She also provides tips and tricks for creating unforgettable messages based on the creative workings of our brains. She is an expert in the psychology of cybercrime and has recently published a book on the greatest environmental crimes of our time. Dr Julia Shaw (born in Cologne in 1987) is a German-Canadian criminal psychologist, based in London, bestselling author and memory researcher. She conducts research at University College London (UCL) in the fields of criminal psychology, memory and artificial intelligence. She also works as a true crime expert for the BBC and numerous TV and podcast productions in Germany and the UK. Her groundbreaking “False Memory“ study, in which she implanted false memories in 70% of her test subjects using suggestive questioning methods, made her a rising star as a young scientist. Her non-fiction debut “The Memory Illusion” became an international bestseller and has been translated into more than 20 languages. Her second book “Making Evil” was also a bestseller, and “Bi. The hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality” won numerous awards. In autumn 2025, her new book “GREEN CRIME” was published in Germany, the UK & U.S. In 2017, she founded the start-up SPOT in Silicon Valley, which uses artificial intelligence to combat discrimination in the business world. Her work has been featured in Der Spiegel, The Times and New York Magazine, among others. Julia Shaw’s fascinating keynotes bridge the gap between psychology, technology and society and are as eye-opening as they are entertaining – on an international level. Julia Shaw offers innovative perspectives on topics such as identity and memory (including in the field of marketing), the nature of evil (including in the field of cybercrime), diversity and the influence of artificial intelligence on humans and society.
