Dr. Paul Atherton

Dr. Paul Atherton is the founder and CEO of Fab and AI-for-Education.org, its flagship initiative. The initiative is working to ensure that children in low-income countries benefit equally from AI innovations in education, and that AI is harnessed to help solve the learning crisis. He has spent the last 20 years supporting education improvements in low-income countries in a variety of roles — from academia (at the UCL Institute of Education), to government (for the UK Department for International Development), and building organisations. Underpinning all this is a focus on improving people, processes, and policies in education through technology and innovation.
