Workshop lead

Alan King is the founder of AI-Your-Org, former Head of Global Membership Strategy and AI at IMechE, host of AI Evolution podcast and author of Harnessing the Power of AI in Organisations.

Alan's fascination with artificial intelligence began in his teenage years. As an early adopter of AI tools, he has consistently used them to drive productivity and explore new possibilities, always pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve. 

With a background in electronics, and completing an MBA at Brunel University, Alan dedicated his early career to working at Hewlett Packard on environmental test systems and then Strategic Alliance International, where he managed global campaigns for technology firms, all whilst deepening his knowledge around software applications and AI systems. Building on this valuable experience, he later joined the IMechE and published "Harnessing the Power of AI in Organisations", which led to setting up the "AI-Your-Org" community. 

Firmly believing in the transformative power of AI for organisations, Alan stats. "This version of AI at the moment, let's call it generation one, it's a co-pilot, and it going to help us do things better, faster and quicker than ever before." Known for his forward thinking attitude and passion for technology, Alan says, "We become the editors of content, and refine and build on what the AI provides us with." He's excited about the endless potential AI holds for organisations. 

Alan is eager to see how AI will continue to shape the business landscape, stating, "We are about to enter a period of rapid change, an inflection point like no other." As AI tools advance, he is confident that their impact on society and organisations will be both transformative and beneficial.
