Calum Chace

Calum Chace (born 1959) is an English businessman, author and speaker, who specialises in artificial intelligence. After a thirty-year career in business, he retired in 2012 to focus on writing and speaking on the topic of AI, which he saw as both a hugely promising development, and a potential threat that warrants urgent attention. In 2024 he co-founded the AI safety company Conscium.

Education Chace studied philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE) at Oxford University, graduating in 1981. Between 1989 and 1990, he went on to gain a MBA from Cranfield School of Management. In March 2025 the Conscium team launched PRISM (Partnership for Research Into Sentient Machines), a non-profit organisation dedicated to investigating AI consciousness.
