Phil D. Hall
Conversational AI Architect
Phil has been delivering practical, effective, resilient AI systems since 1999 originally when he was working as a consultant for Logica installing automated email response solutions. More recently he has moved into highly integrated chat and AV systems on the basis of socio-cultural, commercial, ethical and anthropological rationale.
Prior to his commercial interests, he was a mechanical engineer, hand-built Arts and Crafts style furniture, ran production lines and studied Anthropology as a mature student at University College London. His definitive research was an ethnography of online community during 1997/1998 where he focused on the implications for an individual’s sense of self and identity in virtual environments. He still has a strong interest in the articulation of subject and objectivity.
Phil is the co-creator of I am Echoborg.
