Recognized as one of the UK’s Top 100 Entrepreneurs by Maserati and a Top 50 UK Innovator by Penrose, Martin is driven by his conviction that the purpose of technology is to create deeper human connection. He has founded, built and sold numerous ethical AI, machine learning and creative businesses over the last 20 years. This includes Codec.ai, where he was CEO until the privacy-friendly AI-driven map of popular culture was acquired in 2023, and Metaphysic.ai. As an innovation adviser to CEOs, corporates and governments around the world, Martin advocates for those who believe technology can create deeper human connection. He graduated from Harvard Law School and worked at the Berkman Centre for Internet & Society on the first test-case in digital IP (the Obama 'Hope’ poster) and as a New York attorney on cutting-edge digital-IP issues. Consequently, Martin has a deep understanding of the technical, ethical and regulatory issues that underpin AI and innovation as society moves towards a more immersive internet.
