Paul Forrest
Executive Head of AI
Adjunct Professor | Author | TEDX Speaker
I teach AI to postgraduate students and executives, and I see how quickly the skills employers need move ahead of what qualifications recognise. I joined the Council to help close that gap, bringing what I see in the classroom and inside businesses deploying AI, and to challenge AIB's thinking where the evidence points elsewhere.
