Testimonials

Thank you Dr Kobi Leins (PhD, GAICD) for such a compelling keynote presentation. I honestly felt like I had the privilege of watching a TED talk! You have an incredible ability to distil complex technical, legal, ethical and social issues related to Artificial Intelligence (aka Expert System that I learned because of you) into plain language. Plus you adapted your content to be relevant for a cancer research and cancer control audience. It was a masterclass in communication!
