How James is building a better working world
“Artificial Intelligence and Automation are rapidly changing our everyday lives, changing the way we work, interact with colleagues and engage with customers. This brings great opportunity to improve the world we live in, but we have to do it ethically and humanely. This is why I am so passionate about demystifying the technology, creating open communication, continuously educating and bringing together stakeholders across the spectrum while transforming the organizations we work for and the world we live in.”
