The AI expertise market has no quality control. Anyone can claim the title, and the buyers who need real expertise, event planners, executives, journalists, universities, have no efficient way to separate the practitioner from the poser until money and reputation are already spent. Credentials live scattered across bios written by their subjects; verification is left as an exercise for the burned.
The AI Faculty member directory is the corrective: a vetted roster of AI experts whose credentials have been reviewed by our advisory board against published profile standards, with full CVs available for every member. When you find an expert here, the verification is already done.
How is the directory organized?
By specialty. Members are indexed across twelve AI disciplines, from AI strategy and agentic AI to AI in healthcare and AI ethics; browse the complete specialties index to navigate by discipline.
By member. Every member has a full CV profile, credentials, appointments, publications, engagements, and verified experience, held to a common standard so profiles are actually comparable. Founding member CVs: Jim Harris, Scott Wilson, and Dr. Ruhai Wu.
What does membership vetting involve?
Every applicant is reviewed against the profile standards: verifiable credentials, documented real-world AI work, and professional standing, with the advisory board holding the gate. The bar exists to be worth something; a directory that admits everyone certifies no one.
Who uses the directory?
Event planners sourcing keynote speakers with checkable credentials, organizations seeking advisors and trainers, media seeking qualified commentary, and institutions seeking collaborators. If you are an AI expert yourself, membership is open by application: see membership benefits and apply here.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a member profile and a speaker page?
Speaker pages under Keynotes are booking-oriented; member CV pages are the full professional record, the deep verification layer underneath. Bookable members link both ways.
Can I hire members directly through the directory?
Engagement inquiries route through the AI Faculty so vetting, contracting, and delivery standards travel with the member; each profile shows its engagement paths.
How current are member profiles?
Profiles are maintained against the standards on a defined review cycle; a stale CV is a standards violation, not a cosmetic issue.
