Join us for a conversation with Omar Mir, Baron of Thorntoun, a leading figure in artificial intelligence and advanced technologies Professor Peter Todd, Dean of Imperial Business School, is delighted to welcome Omar Mir, Advisory Board member and Visiting Professor of Practice at Imperial Business School and King’s Trust International Advisor on AI and Advanced Technology, to the first event in our Technology Leader Speaker Series. About the event Omar Mir, Principal Benefactor and Founding Principal of the King’s Trust International Campaign “Generation Potential” and International Board Member at World Wide Technology, will join Peter Todd, Dean of the Business School, to explore the keys to success when faced with the reality of artificial intelligence in the boardroom. You might expect a masterclass in AI futures, but actually, we’re dissecting the messy, political, limited present, and the hundreds of millions in potential revenue available when you get it right. Having built an $18 billion AI infrastructure business from scratch, working in partnership with corporations such as Google and Microsoft, as well as AI companies Anthropic, AMD and OpenAI, Omar knows this from personal experience. Navigating bureaucracy and legal frameworks – and the human gatekeepers in charge of them – is one of the biggest challenges faced by business leaders when it comes to introducing cutting-edge technology to centuries-old institutions. Drawing on his decades of experience, Omar will guide attendees towards success by exploring crucial questions, including: Why most AI programmes fail, What actually happens when boards decide on major AI investments, Which skills matter most, And what commercial pressures mean for technical integrity. Following the discussion, join us for a networking reception with refreshments where you can connect with peers and future leaders. This launches our Technology Leader Speaker Series, bringing prominent technology leaders from across Europe and
