Interpreting transformations in ai and Robotics
"Took us from academic to practical with real business use possibility."
"Great insights. Neil really brings to life the possibilities of AI. He challenges his audience with what he already sees as emerging, yet most see as very far away. Very credible in exposing a broad range of third parties in the space. Bravo!"
"Brilliant exercises and techniques to open up debate and see things from both sides"
