Peter Kaminski is an AI instructor, AI artist, seasoned tech entrepreneur, and consultant. His portfolio includes technical cofounding of five innovative Internet firms, including enterprise wiki solution provider Socialtext and Ethernet wide-area network service provider Yipes Communications. More recently, he is teaching business professionals and others how and why to use generative AI, along with the computer and knowledge management skills to use AI more effectively. Previous experience as a video game designer augments his approach to product development and user experience design. Long experience with digital imagery and semi-professional photography has given him the background for a deep dive into Midjourney, the AI image generation tool.
Pete possesses a broad, in-depth skill set, ranging from low-level coding, networking, and data representation, to team dynamics, agile development methodologies, and fostering harmony between business and technology. He is patient and nonjudgmental with his students. He advises companies and budding organizations on improving team dynamics, utilizing decentralized collaboration tools and processes, and leveraging generative AI to cultivate a more human-centered and efficient workplace.
Dr Wendy Elford is a 'practical futurist' with a penchant for design strategy and knowledge design. She's committed to cultivating sustainable systems within the realms of health, education, businesses, and communities, while maintaining a focus on inclusive, human-centric, and user-centred design. Wendy teams up with other designers and business leaders to maintain a holistic view of the product context, tracking real-time outcomes from prototype to final utilization scenarios.
Her unique approach is rooted in complex adaptive systems, using text, large language models, observation, and narratives as data to inform the design process. This approach is not limited to tangible products like apps, buildings, and conferences, but also extends to abstract systems such as job roles, career paths, and evolving business work systems.
Trained originally in theoretical physics, Mathew Lowry has been a science journalist, information architect, knowledge management specialist and communication strategist since the early 1990s.
He has been innovating online since 1995, when he built the first database-driven website for any European public organisation. Other firsts include building the European Commission's first online community, architecting it's first cross-departmental thematic portal and newsroom, and the first application of natural language processing to reorganise a clients' online presence in 2011.
Since then he's specialised in exploring the use of machine learning in public administrations, and is currently helping two European Commission departments explore use cases for large language models in areas as diverse as internal knowledge management and evidence-informed policymaking. Other firsts and best practices can be found on his About page on MyHub.ai, the platform he founded in 2020.
