Greg Cross is an experienced global entrepreneur and technology executive with a focus on commercializing deep technology research. In 2016 he co-founded Soul Machines quickly establishing it as a leading Artificial intelligence company backed by international investors. Prior to this another technology company he co-founded was sold to Apple.
Over the last 8 years Greg has been recognized as an international thought leader in how we humanize AI by focusing on the way people experience AI and integrate it into their daily lives. With the rapid democratization of AI since the launch of ChatGPT, he has been at the leading edge of a massive shift to “bottoms up” innovation as rapidly forming creative communities become the drivers of the new economics of the AI era — Relevance and Intimacy.
Greg recently developed the AI Reconstruction Strategic Framework, a comprehensive methodology for organizational acceleration in the AI era. This framework addresses the fundamental shifts needed for organizations to fully harness AI’s potential, focusing on four key pillars: AI-Forward Organizational Evolution, Democratized Innovation Ecosystems, Human Curiosity-AI Creativity Alliance, and Customer-Centric Value Creation.
In his newest venture, Greg serves as Founder and Executive Chairman of Eighty20 AI Inc., a native AI company which is developing Quantum Social Clubs – a revolutionary platform transforming customer engagement and the value of customer data in the AI era. This innovative approach uses tokenization to enable organizations to build valuable customer engagement data sets where trust becomes the new digital currency.
Greg has worked with C-level Executives at major brands like Pfizer, JP Morgan Chase, Walmart, and P&G across a wide range of industries as they re-imagine the workplace and the workforce of the future. He has been keynote speaker at leading global conferences like Singularity University Global Summit, Web Summit, Cannes Lions, CogX, Gitex and Collision.
Greg Cross was selected by the World Economic Forum as a Technology Pioneer for his work in the field of Artificial Intelligence in 2018 and in 2019 he was inducted into New Zealand’s Technology Hall of Fame as the recipient of the Flying Kiwi Award.
