Cognitive scientist, computer artisan, and one of the leading innovators in artificial intelligence, John Ball will share real-world examples and insightful explanations on AI. John has successfully applied his theory to create AI language services that are in operation today, offering a glimpse into the future of AI technology. With over three decades of research and multiple degrees in related fields, Ball introduces readers to his revolutionary Patom brain theory - a model that mirrors the way human brains pattern-match to acquire language, solve complex problems, and learn.

John S Ball grew up in New Jersey and New York in the 1960s and 70s, gaining early exposure to internet technology and children's education through his father's connections as an educational psychologist. After moving to Sydney in 1975, he completed his tertiary education at various universities. He now travels between Northern Beaches and California, where his business focuses on researching developing technologies. 

Challenged by a past Professor's quote, "computers will never understand human language", John went on to invent Patom Theory, a model for machine language use, leading to patents in 2007. His software suggests that human language issues can be solved without processing.
