An award-winning journalist, Criddle has covered tech for a decade and regularly breaks exclusive stories on tech companies such as Meta, Google, OpenAI, and TikTok.

Criddle is a specialist speaker on Artificial Intelligence. She examines how AI has entered the consumer market, with the mass adoption of advanced models like Chat GPT becoming common. She can also speak to enterprise AI and how developments are transforming workplaces.
