Zoë has a background in computer science (with a MSc and PhD in AI) and in developing novel AI technologies across a few verticals. From a focus on AI at QinetiQ and SEA, Zoë moved into supporting innovation more broadly at Innovate UK, leading and implementing innovation strategies in ICT, enabling technologies and high value manufacturing. She also had responsibility for Innovate UK’s Horizon Scanning Unit. Zoë moved to BT in Nov 2020 to turn her focus back to AI as AI Director in BT’s Data and AI team.

Establishing an AI Centre of Enablement

There are a number of questions to consider when setting up a team to accelerate the development and adoption of AI at scale. Not all of these centre on the technology. This talk will discuss some of the questions that have focused my attention here at BT and the perspectives that are important in addressing them.
