Calum Chace, currently encouraging the world to acknowledge the ways in which AI will be changing almost everything about being a human, holds a very interesting and knowledgeable career trajectory.

During his extensive 30 years in the journalism industry, he trained as a journalist with BBC, wrote a column for the FT, worked with influential organizations such as KPMG and BP, and served as the CEO of many businesses. He also co-founded the Economic Singularity Club where like-minded academics, writers, and technologists resolve the matters of mass technological unemployment.

Besides his core career as a journalist, strategy consultant, and entrepreneur, his education also plays a role in the impact that he creates through his books and talks. As he pursued philosophy at Oxford, he noticed many common grounds between science fiction and philosophy.

All these steps have led him to become the best-selling writer on artificial intelligence and one of the most sought-after experts to give talks regarding technology’s past, future, and present and its association with humans.

He has given 120 prominent talks in 180 countries on 5 continents, and written books such as Pandora’s Brain (a book about the first superintelligence on earth), Surviving AI (a book to make you look further into the arrival of intelligence that’s beyond humans at the moment), and The Economic Singularity (a book to convey potential technological unemployment).
