Other council changes
BIMA’s Young Talent and Universities councils will merge to become the Education Council, chaired by Lawrence Zeegen, Pro Vice-Chancellor Research, Innovation and Enterprise & Professor of Illustration at Ravensbourne University London.
The existing AI Think Tank will now be co-chaired by: Sandro Petterle, Technology Director at Rufus Leonard, and Simone Babb, AI / ML Commercial Product Lead, Digital Catapult.
We’d also like to thank Pete Trainor, Amanda Follit and Tiffany St James who established, chaired and steered the AI Think Tank, Young Talent and Universities councils so brilliantly.
