Oliver is Head of Research at The ai Corporation.

Conversation is the lifeblood of communication, and now, that communication isn’t just between humans. People expect technology not just to hear them, but to understand them. They want to be able to control apps, websites, devices, cars, mobiles and wearables; to access and manage online services and connected technologies. People want to use natural, everyday language when they talk to technology – and they expect to get intelligent responses. Building these intelligent natural language interfaces and applications used to be a complex and time-consuming process demanding specialist linguistic skills. My company - Artificial Solutions - has solved this problem. We use the principals of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Interaction (NLI) quite simply to “Make Technology Think!” Teneo, our natural language development and analytics platform allows you to build artificially intelligent solutions that understand and act on what people are saying – however they say it, in whatever language they choose and whether they use voice, text, touch or gesture to communicate.

I was born in Belgium, from Moroccan descent. I was never the type to work for somebody else – I’m an entrepreneur, heart and soul. I started my first serious venture in 1998: a software house providing financial products. That software was mainly written by myself. It was the right time and the right product, and within three years I owned 70% of the market. ‘Then I went into lending myself, and co-founded Old Mutual Finance – a joint venture with Old Mutual – and changed from being a software provider to being a financier. From the success of that business I started ZaiLab. I missed development. ‘Why contact centers, then? Having been exposed to other third-party providers during my time at Old Mutual Finance, I learned that contact centers needed a serious revamp. They just hadn’t moved on from that ancient technology. ‘My vision was to create a real contact center in the cloud, accessible to everybody, with the ultimate goal of creating employment. I also wanted to make contact centers sexy. I love science fiction movies, and I thought their style was perfect for a new kind of contact center. Turns out I was right. ‘My success in all my previous ventures is mainly because of the people I work with. I love what I do, and I surround myself with people who love what they do too.
