Professor J. Mark Bishop is not your typical AI evangelist. In fact, he might be one of the most prominent voices urging us to rethink what AI can truly achieve. As Professor of Cognitive Computing (Emeritus) at Goldsmiths, University of London and Chief Scientific Adviser to FACT360, Bishop brings to the table over four decades of academic and practical experience in artificial intelligence.
He has helped develop AI tools for the European Space Agency and the UK National Health Service, and has advised global institutions including the UN, EU, and UK Parliament. And yet, for all his involvement in cutting-edge systems, Bishop remains a persistent critic of many popular narratives about
AI’s supposed capabilities.
