Fernanda Rocha is Director of Futures at Blackbot and a specialist in strategic foresight and futures thinking. With over ten years of experience as a consultant in strategic design and innovation, she has supported organisations across multiple industries in anticipating change, addressing uncertainty and identifying emerging opportunities linked to technology and artificial intelligence.

At Blackbot, Fernanda works with organisations to design future oriented strategies that integrate technology, design and innovation. Her practice combines foresight methodologies, strategic design and collaborative processes to help teams navigate complexity and make informed decisions about artificial intelligence, emerging technologies and long term transformation.

“Working with artificial intelligence requires the ability to think beyond the present. In my teaching, I encourage students to explore uncertainty, question assumptions and use foresight as a design tool to shape responsible and meaningful futures.”
