Best-Selling Author Calum Chace to Speak at Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit 2024

Calum Chace is a leading voice on artificial intelligence, focusing on its impact on society, economies, and our everyday lives. His work explores both the medium and long-term implications of AI. He has authored several acclaimed non-fiction books on the subject, including “The Economic Singularity”, which examines the potential for widespread technological unemployment, and “Surviving AI”, which delves into the possibilities of powerful AI and superintelligence. He is also the author of “Pandora's Brain”, a technological thriller about the emergence of the first superintelligence. More of his insights are on his blog at pandoras-brain.com.

Before becoming a writer and speaker, Chace enjoyed a 30-year career in journalism and business. He has served as a marketing executive, strategic advisor, and director in various companies. He remains active in the business community as a chair and mentor for startups. In 2000, he authored “The Internet Start-Up Bible”, a best-selling business guide published by Random House.

Chace studied philosophy at Oxford University, where he discovered that much of the science fiction he enjoyed as a child was, in essence, philosophy presented in an engaging way.

The Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit 2024 will feature Calum Chace as one of its key speakers, offering a unique opportunity to hear from one of the most insightful voices on AI and its future impact.
