    Dr James Luke

    Roke, Innovation Director

    James Luke, is an Engineer with over 25 years’ experience delivering real AI solutions that solve real world problems. James is the Innovation Director at Roke, a leading UK technology company, having previously worked as an IBM Distinguished Engineer and Master Inventor. James has multiple US patents in subjects relating to AI and, for his PhD, researched the application of AI in detecting previously unseen computer viruses. James is an experienced conference speaker and has given evidence on the development of AI to both the European Commission and the House of Lords Select Committee. In 2018, James delivered a TEDx talk entitled, “How To Survive An AI Winter” ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWOkEVdITIg ). James started his career failing to deliver an AI solution for a leading Formula 1 team. This experience changed James’s understanding and perspective on what it takes to actually deliver a working AI solution. James responded to his early failure by developing new methods for the definition, design and delivery of AI solutions. He has delivered projects in multiple industries from Public Sector to Insurance and Retail. Prior to joining Roke, James held a number of key positions in IBM including Chief Architect for Watson Tools, CTO of the Cognitive Practice in Europe and Leader of the Academy of Technology core team on AI.
