Testimonials
Robert Surcouf, Entrust
"One of the best sessions on AI stressing the need to understand what you want to achieve and ensure you are not just buying another ‘I use AI badge’ that will not actually make a profitable difference!"
"A special thank you to Dr Danica Damljanovic for leading such a clear and practical discussion on AI oversight, director liabilities, and the key questions boards should be asking. Fantastic to see such great attendance. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspective."
Victoria Eastwood, Digital Jersey
"Danica has a real ability to get people engaged in discussions around AI. Her strong technical knowledge helps turn complex topics into conversations where people can participate, share perspectives and challenge assumptions."
Jonathan Clarke, Jersey Finance
"A particularly valuable framework this week was the ‘AI Alphabet’ risk approach, encouraging leaders to think systematically about: Algorithms, Accountability, Bias, Safety, Liability, Governance, Human oversight, Real-world applications… Thank you again for creating such a thoughtful and challenging learning environment."
Elizabet Gomes dos Santos, UCL and Government of Jersey
"An amazing afternoon that hoteliers thoroughly enjoyed and learned from. Danica's energy and engagement were spot on, and the content delivered exactly the right value for the group. She adapted her approach on the fly to keep it conversational and engaging, and it worked brilliantly."

Speaker TESTIMONIALS
"A swiss knife for unlocking the potential of AI"
“I collaborated with Dr. Danica Damljanovic on a cutting edge virtual personal assistant for helping children learn biology concepts. Danica managed all technical aspects of the AI research and led the project to a successful launch in multiple schools. I was deeply impressed with the depth of her knowledge in AI and her ability to leverage that knowledge to build a robust and commercially viable software system.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Danica on a joint keyword recommendation engine project. The project left me fully impressed by Danica’s proactive attitude that really helped push the boundaries of what we believed was possible to achieve. Her professionalism was essential to achieving the project’s goals on time and drive the exceptional R&D results. It is very rare to find a person possessing at the same time an insightful and experienced R&D vision, and the capacity to assume the management of IT projects and lead them to success. This makes Danica a swiss knife for unlocking the potential of AI and delivering innovation to modern businesses.”
“What a pleasure it was to work with Danica during a fascinating period in our professional lives. Her intelligence was fierce as was her passion for AI and how it could be deployed to transform learning experiences for young people. By turns thoughtful and humorous, Danica’s laughter was never away. She was a wonderful colleague who made an intense project always fun and always rewarding.”
“I worked with Danica on one of those ‘change the world’ projects: LarKC, an engine to do reasoning at (semantic) web scale. During that time, she proved to be incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. She always had an efficient strategy lined up to make our work go smoothly and was excellent in communicating her ideas to the rest of the team. She has the rare ability of being deeply technical AND being good with people, and this should command a premium in the job market. She led the working group on ‘Information retrieval’ I was part of. Danica goes out of her way to support the ideas and people she believes in. I would gladly work with Danica again!”
