carly minsky , London, United Kingdom

I am an experienced journalist and commentator covering technology, startups and scientific innovation. I'm always available to contribute at events (in moderator or speaker capacities) and I welcome off-the-record chats with anyone in the science or tech sector.

I'm particularly interested in so-called "deep tech" including artificial intelligence, machine learning, cryptography and advanced computing. I also spend a little too much time pondering associated philosophical questions, both on and off the clock.

I regularly write news, analysis pieces, longread features and data-driven reports for print and online. I have recently covered topics like innovation in healthcare; biometrics for online payments; Google and IBM's battle for quantum supremacy; and many more.

If you catch me during recreational hours I'll likely still be talking about tech in some way. Highlights of my dinner party chats tend towards computational theory; Alan Turing (my hero); post-quantum cryptography; and epistemological obligations for self-driving cars.

Beyond tech I'm also dedicated to thinking, reading and writing about gender and LGBTQ topics and social issues. My most significant personal indulgence is in theatre and literature, and I am also working on my own fiction writing.
