“Daniel presented on AI at an internal event to nearly 100 financial services professionals in November 2016. His knowledge, interest and passion in the subject were clear and the audience was hooked as he explored the development of AI in today’s world and its current and potential impact. Daniel engaged with the audience, encouraging them to think for themselves with a series of questions at the beginning. He also posed interesting ethical challenges, asking the audience for their inputs. Daniel has incredible in-depth knowledge of his subject area and is an excellent speaker. He has been invited to speak to different audiences at the firm several times and is always given very positive feedback by the audience. We’d be delighted to have him back again!”
