Alan D. Thompson is a world expert in artificial intelligence (AI), specialising in the augmentation of human intelligence, and advancing the evolution of ‘integrated AI’. A former chairman for Mensa International’s gifted families, Alan applies a rigorous background in human intelligence to artificial intelligence.
