Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ronald Ashri is always trying to find a balance between his appreciation of academic rigor and his attraction to the necessary chaos of creating practical, usable, tools. This split also describes his working life, from PhD student to research fellow to a technically focused entrepreneur and consultant. For the past 15 years he has been either building products in startups or working for organizations such as BT Labs, the NHS, TripAdvisor, the Italian Government, the UK government, UCLA, McGill University, and BDO to help them build useful products. Most recently he is the co-founder of a conversational AI consultancy called GreenShoot Labs, based in London, and leading the development of an open-source conversational application management platform called OpenDialog.ai.

Ronald specializes in AI systems design, knowledge management, agent-based systems and conversational AI. He frequently writes and speaks about AI-related issues, has authored and has co-authored a variety of articles (both academic and not) on AI as well as wider software engineering issues, and is the co-author of a book titled Agent-Based Software Development (Artech House Publishers, 2004).

He holds a BSc (First Class) in Computer Systems Engineering from Warwick University and a PhD in Computer Science from Southampton University.
