Helping Individuals and Organisations Harness AI to Drive Positive Change
Gianluca
Gianluca is an AI expert, educator, and advocate for AI ethics, with nearly a decade of experience helping businesses and individuals make sense of artificial intelligence and use it as a tool for positive change. His mission is clear: to make AI accessible, understandable, and beneficial for everyone.
Gianluca's career began with consulting, developing, and implementing AI algorithms for major global companies like Pampers and Merck, where he discovered one essential truth—successful AI implementation isn’t about the algorithms themselves, but about the people using them. This revelation became the foundation for his next venture, the AI Academy, which he founded in 2017.
Through AI Academy, Gianluca has trained thousands of individuals—across industries and skill levels—helping them embrace AI in their work, spark innovation, and unlock their full potential. He also lectures at prestigious institutions such as Harvard Executive Education, Johns Hopkins, and ESCP, and regularly shares his insights with a community of over 100k followers on social media.
In addition to his work as a coach and educator, Gianluca is a passionate advocate for AI ethics. His groundbreaking investigation for The Guardian on AI gender bias sparked international conversations and continues to shape discussions on AI's impact on society.
