I am Tony Robinson, an entrepreneur and expert in machine learning and artificial intelligence. I have founded many companies and been central to the creation and strategy for many dozens more. The first was SoftSound (1995) which created the modern speech recognition market where any speech could be transcribed and understood. It's successor, Speechmatics, delivers the most accurate and inclusive speech recognition in 50 different languages (The Times). I've spent my life in strategic planning so I'm heavily into sustainability: climate change; environmental damage; rewilding; and next-generation AI.

“If you wish to become a philosopher, the first thing to realise is that most people go through life with a whole world of beliefs that have no sort of rational justification, and that one man’s world of beliefs is apt to be incompatible with another man’s, so that they cannot both be right. People’s opinions are mainly designed to make them feel comfortable; truth, for most people is a secondary consideration.” — Bertrand Russell
