About

Jason Bradbury is the host of The Gadget Show US & The Gadget Show UK. He has worked as a TV presenter and producer on hundreds of shows in a career spanning almost twenty years.

When it comes to gadgets, science and all things tech, Jason is a force of nature. His own inventions, which include the world's first working jet-powered hoverboard, have become legendary with viewers of The Gadget Show. He is also a private pilot and is licensed by the Home Office to build transmitters.

With a passion for technology and science that is utterly infectious, Jason brings confidence to his performance on camera rarely seen in factual television. He also boasts excellent comic abilities, developed during his years a performing in a double act with Little Britain star David Walliams. Before they explored London's stand-up clubs, Jason and David formed their own comedy club with fellow performers Myfanwy Moore (producer of Little Britain) and Simon Pegg (Star Trek, Shaun of the Dead, James Bond).

Jason Bradbury is an avid collector of exotic tech. His prize possessions include a mint-condition Sinclair C5 and his current favourite gadget, the Easy Glider - a skateboard-towing electric drive wheel. He owns several robots, including dancing bi-pedal, UAVs that fly and an Automower. A complete adrenaline junkie, Jason is a six-time world record holder. His records include the world's fastest jet-powered luge, world's fastest water powered car and world's longest jump with an RC car.

An accomplished writer, Jason Bradbury has written several books with publisher Puffin. His Dot Robot series follows a twelve-year-old boy genius that invents a robot crime-fighting force. The science in the books is real and most of it has been witnessed by Jason firsthand. He often tours schools and festivals with the 'Dot Robot Roadshow', giving people the opportunity to see some of the science in action.

He is on the judging panels for the BAFTA Video Game Awards and the Media Guardian Innovation Awards.

30 Days of AI

In ‘30 Days of AI’ Jason entrusts his every daily decision to artificial intelligence - for an entire month. In this fascinating experiment, he explores the potential benefits and risks of the machine learning revolution that is poised to affect how all of us live and work.

Through the examination of this thought-provoking experience, Jason illuminates the intriguing results of everything from mundane tasks - meal planning and workouts - to ambitious pursuits like creating a profitable side business or achieving financial independence – all seen through the prism of deep learning and Artificial Intelligence services.

Jason has been a student of AI for the last fifteen years, tracking its advances in his hugely successful ‘Thousand Year Decade’ speech. He’s interviewed AI researchers in Japan and Silicon Valley and at IBM’s New England campus, with a particular interest in the use of machine learning and robotics – including helping to create and train a robot to perform live stand-up comedy.

Drawing from his experience as a leading tech authority and his personal journey to balance work and life, Jason’s speech offers insightful perspectives on the future of technology, its implications for leadership and business strategy along with the ethical and philosophical implications of the new age of AI.
