What people say?

I have participated in several online events that Richard organized with MKAI, and which Richard moderated. One of the best moderators I have enjoyed during the many "COVID" online events I have done. And great participants to share experiences with.

It was a great pleasure for me to work with MKAI on an AI Ethics and Responsible AI webinar. Excellent people from practice and academia together, a wonderful organization!

I recently spoke at an MKAI event - and it couldn't possibly have been a better experience for the participants (or for me!).

Dr. JT Kostman

The MKAI was one of the best events I have been part of and I am hope to be part of more in the future. I'd highly recommend working with MKAI if you get the chance.

The MKAI event was well organized and attended by world leading experts. The team was a delight to work with and I’d welcome the opportunity to do so again.

MKAI has energy, enthusiasm, and deep industry knowledge. They are aware of the requirements of a virtual audience and keep the conversation and panel discussions to a pace and length that suits the medium. MKAI does well to create engaging events where the speakers, hosts and audience can all contribute to the conversation.

MKAI gathered a large group of experts on AI and created podcasts and virtual events that run so smoothly that it was like chatting with old friends. Richard was a really great host in these events and his enthusiasm is contagious. I think MKAI is doing a very important work promoting AI and paying attention to all of its applications and implications.
