Artificial Intelligence - Shaping a Future New Zealand

So I haven't posted for a while... :-/ The main* reason is that last year I took up the Exec Director role with the AI Forum NZ and this has increasingly taken up much of my time over the last 9 months or so. Hugely rewarding work exploring, connecting with and developing the burgeoning AI ecosystem in New Zealand. Last week we were proud to launch the Artificial Intelligence - Shaping a Future New Zealand report which is the product of nearly a year of research - benchmarking local AI capability against international developments, starting to understand the key impacts of AI on New Zealand's economy and society and setting out some ambitious pathways towards a coordinated national AI Strategy. Take a read: download from the AI Forum website here. The AI Forum's work starts here to begin effecting the recommendations within the report. I expect I will be busy for a while yet... *One other reason is here.
