Calum Chace

‘The AI Guy’:  AI Expert and Author with a background in Strategy, Business & Journalism

Everything you wanted to know about artificial intelligence but were afraid to ask.

Biography

Since graduating from Oxford in PPE, Calum Chace has worked as a journalist for BBC World Service, as a director for AMR International and KPMG, for BP in both the UK and UAE, and was the CEO of Weeding Technologies.  Currently Calum is a consultant on AI through 3cs, a company he founded. He is also the author of ‘The Economic Singularity’, a non-fiction book about the prospect of widespread technological unemployment; ‘Surviving AI’, a non-fiction book about the likelihood and impact of strong AI and super-intelligence; and techno-thriller ‘Pandora’s Brain’.

In the emergent, active debate over AI, there are as many that are excited by the possibilities as there are and those who are warning of disaster.

As well as a brief historical look at the developments of the new world of deep learning AI, Calum’s talks provides evidence for both sides of the argument and guides audiences through his strange new world. Ultimately he makes the case that AI can turn out to be the best thing that will happen to humanity, making our future wonderful almost beyond imagination. But, be cautions, our future welfare and prosperity depends on our determination to learn about and meet the challenges that AI presents head on.
